Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia \u2014 The Ministry of Marine Affairs and\nFisheries (KKP) will run a thematic fish-farming programme at 76 sites\nin the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). The programme aims to create\nbusiness opportunities for village communities while strengthening food\nsecurity based on fish protein.<\/p>\n
Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono said the\nthematic fish-farming programme is part of the National Priority Work\nProgramme (PKPN), which aims to reach 40,000 locations by 2029.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 76 sites are spread across Bantul, Gunungkidul, Kulon Progo and\nSleman regencies. Preparation is prioritising the suitability of each\nsite and completion of the administrative requirements for land use\nbefore construction begins,\u201d Trenggono said in an official statement in\nJakarta on Friday (30 October).<\/p>\n
To implement the programme, KKP has held outreach sessions with\nCommission IV of the House of Representatives and local governments. The\neffort is intended to strengthen preparations for the land, operators\nand marketing, so that the assistance can develop into a sustainable,\nproductive business.<\/p>\n
The programme will include facility construction, operator training,\nthe provision of fingerlings and feed, and support during the initial\noperating phase. KKP fisheries extension officers will also assist\noperators in strengthening their technical skills and business\nmanagement, helping ensure production can continue independently.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will provide support through one operating cycle. After that, the\nhope is that they will be able to operate independently,\u201d said Tb Haeru\nRahayu, director-general of aquaculture.<\/p>\n
Land readiness is also a key focus of the outreach. Tebe said\nselected sites must have clear land status, be free from disputes and\nmeet the programme\u2019s requirements. Technical suitability, access to the\nsites and electricity availability must also be confirmed to ensure the\nfish-farming operations can run properly.<\/p>\n
Adi Bayu Kristanto, head of DIY\u2019s Land and Spatial Planning Office,\nsaid his agency was ready to help expedite administrative arrangements\nfor the use of village-owned land for the programme. It will coordinate\nwith village authorities to prepare meeting records and supporting\ndocuments as a basis for further permitting in DIY. This is expected to\nallow construction of the thematic fish-farming facilities to proceed\nsoon.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Heri Sulistio Hermawan, head of DIY\u2019s Marine Affairs and\nFisheries Office, welcomed the programme\u2019s recirculating system. The\nsystem treats and reuses water, making it suitable for DIY given its\nlimited land and water resources.<\/p>\n
Ernawati Kusumaningsih, representing Trirenggo village in Bantul\ndistrict, also welcomed the support, saying the programme could create\nemployment opportunities. She said improving people\u2019s welfare required\ncreating business opportunities that would enable residents to earn an\nincome.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kkp-to-develop-fish-farming-at-76-sites-in-yogyakarta-1793346659", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
