JAKARTA – The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has a strategy to anticipate the threat of a global recession in 2023. One of them is by exporting fish to the Middle East region.
Marketing Director of the Directorate General of Strengthening the Competitiveness of Marine and Fishery Products (PDSPKP) of the KKP Erwin Dwiyana explained that the first step that the KKP will take is to export 500 tons of fish to fulfill the consumption of Indonesian pilgrims.
“The entrance begins in Saudi Arabia with a captive market. There, right, there are congregations of around 200 thousand and need to eat from Medina to Mecca,” Erwin said at the Bincang Bahari Marine and Fisheries Sector Map Amid the Threat of Recession monitored online, Tuesday, February 21.
Erwin said that his party had collaborated with business actors and agreed to encourage the export of several types of fish to fulfill the consumption of Indonesian pilgrims.
The fish that will be exported include catfish, milkfish, canned tuna, dwarf fish, and marine catfish. “This is what we are preparing for Hajj fulfillment,” he said. Related to this, Erwin said, his party is currently taking care of registration with the Saudi Arabian authorities. He estimates that the export of Indonesian fish to Saudi Arabia will not stop to fulfill the consumption of pilgrims, but this step will be the beginning of the expansion of exports of Indonesian fish products throughout the Middle East region.
