PT Tartaruga Seafood Indonesia: Building a Sustainable Future with Seaweed

Established in 2020, PT Tartaruga Food Indonesia was founded with a clear mission: to unlock seaweed's potential as a sustainable and nutritious resource. The company focuses on seaweed-based innovation and aims to contribute to both local and global food systems.

The name “Tartaruga”, meaning turtle in Italian and Portuguese, reflects the company’s core values—moving forward with intention, resilience, and long-term vision. Just as the turtle is deeply connected to the ocean, Tartaruga believes that seaweed can play a key role in shaping a more sustainable future.

As a first step in realizing this vision, the company introduced Tartaruga Mini Sheet Crispy Seaweed, a nutritious, ready-to-eat snack rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. While it currently uses imported Porphyra seaweed, PT Tartaruga Food Indonesia is actively researching the potential of local tropical varieties like Ulva sp. as part of its effort to build stronger domestic supply chains and reduce import dependency.

Looking ahead, PT Tartaruga Food Indonesia aspires to expand seaweed’s role in everyday life, whether through functional food innovation, responsible sourcing, or sustainable industry development. With steady growth and a clear direction, the company continues its journey to place seaweed at the heart of a healthier, more sustainable future.
