Indonesian Maritime Affairs & Fisheries Minister urges sustainable fishing for future

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister emphasized that Indonesia should apply the blue economy concept by reducing fishing and replacing it with fish farming.

He underscored the need to continue to encourage cultivation. Fishers who can carry out traditional fishing are urged to develop new methods. According to the Minister, 100 percent of the feed for fish in the country is still imported and it is hoped that Indonesia will be able to produce its own fish feed in future.
