TEMPO Interactive, Banyuwangi:Banyuwangi\u2019s export commodities still rely on fish and sea products.<\/p>\n
The biggest export commodity is ornamental fish, prawn and conserved fish, sardines.<\/p>\n
Last year, ornamental fish exports were ranked in first place with a value of Rp2.8 billion.<\/p>\n
The export destinations are Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Germany.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe export volume is more than one billion each year,\u201d said the Head of Banyuwangi Industry and Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Industries, Yoppy Bayu, to Tempo, on Tuesday (8\/6).<\/p>\n
There are five companies exporting ornamental fish.<\/p>\n
The products are namely Angle piyama, Angle napoleon,and Angle doreng.<\/p>\n
Canned fish and sardines exported last year reach 120 million units or 884 million.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, frozen prawn were 120 million units at a value of Rp476 million.<\/p>\n
The export destinations of both commodities are namely New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa and the United States.<\/p>\n
Besides fish and maritime products, processed wood also reached foreign markets.<\/p>\n
But the amount is too little, only Rp97 million.<\/p>\n
The export number is still small because Banyuwangi supplies more raw materials to companies in the regions like Bali, Surabaya and Malang.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor farming products, we supply more raw materials,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
