GOVT TO DEVELOP FISHERY INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The ministry of fishery and marine resources is set to develop fishery industrial clusters in some districts this year to promote their leading fishery products.

The ministry`s spokesman, Saut P Hutagalung, said here on Wednesday that under the program a district would only focus on developing some of its leading fishery products.

"Then the district will only produce one commodity so that it will be competitive," he said.

He said that actually this program had alredy been developed by other countries such as Japan and Vietnam under their one village one commodity program.

He said the government had already set 10 main fishery commodities to be developed under the cluster system, such as tuna, shrimp, seaweed, crabs and aquarium fish.

He said tuna clusters would be developed in Bitung, North Sulawesi, Benoa in Bali, Makassar in South Sulawesi, Padang and Bungus in West Sumatra, Sorong in Papua, Kendari in Southeast Sulawesi, Prigi in East Java, Cilacap in Central Java and Jakarta.

He said the development of the program would also involve the private sector as well as cooperatives.(*)
