Lailossa, grasianolailossa@yahoo.co.id Abstract . The cold chain management is an important element in ensuring standards of quality and safety of fishery products. Global trends of the standard requirements of fishery products (quality, safety and traceability) is constantly increasing and becoming a global effect. These issues make the development of a new paradigm of cold chain system management of Tuna, which must be holistic, integrated and up to date. The results of the reviews of previous studies shows that the application of cold chain management are still partially employed and is not yet fully integrated in the whole process (post harvest handling, processing and packaging, cold storage and distribution, refrigerated transportation, marketing of fishery products). This paper provides a new paradigm of what cold chain management offers by systems integration approach. The output of this integration model will be expected to improve the exports competitiveness of Indonesian fishery products (Tuna` s). Key Words: cold chain management, Indonesian fishery product, Tuna. Introduction Cold chain system application is a way to preserve quality standards and safety of food products. Cold chain system or usually named “cold chain management” is one of cold chain system which is designed to guarantee whole process, starting from capture process/harvest, from cultivation until product distribution until it will be consumed, which will be continuously intact and according to desired functional standards. There are three basic standards: quality, safety and traceability. One of the most significant constraints is the high level of post harvest losses. Post harvest losses is a result of a poor cold chain implementation in the industry, there are cited fifteen to twenty percent from the primary producer to retail outlet (Figure 1). Cold chain specifically, a supply chain or logistics network is the system of organizations, human resources, technologies, activities, informations, and resources involved in moving a product or service from supplier to customer. Supply chain activities transform natural resources, raw materials, and components into finished products that are delivered to the final consumer. In sophisticated supply chain systems, used products may re-enter the supply chain at any point where residual value is recyclable. A cold chain is a temperature-controlled supply chain. It is a concept resulting from specific needs related to the transformation and distribution of temperature- sensitive products (Emond 2008). To manage the cold chain effectively we need to beware of the drivers for change is along the food supply chain and be able to adapt to them (Davies 2003). Professor Davies (2003) lists of the variables of drivers: Consumer tastes and behavior; Competition and production efficiency; Advances in technology;
