The initiative, a priority for 2025-2029, aims to produce 1.2 million tonnes of fish annually, valued at IDR 2.88 trillion, and will supply the Free Nutritious Meals programme. Coordinating Minister Zulkifli Hasan emphasised the scheme's role in village economic empowerment and job creation, with an estimated 8,000 permanent positions.",
