        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and\nFisheries (KKP) has recorded a 41% decline in Indonesia\u2019s fish export\nvolumes from January to early Eid 2026, amounting to USD 983.1 million\nor Rp 16.7 trillion, due to the Middle East war involving the United\nStates (US), Israel, and Iran. For the tuna sector, the Chairman of the\nIndonesian Tuna Association, Saut P Hutagalung, stated that the Middle\nEast conflict will impact the tuna industry, affecting both fishermen\nand exporters. The rise in fuel prices, which constitute 60% of fishing\ncosts, is causing margins for fishermen and exporters to plummet, while\npackaging materials, which heavily rely on plastic, will further squeeze\nthe tuna business. On the other hand, shipping or freight costs have\nalso surged by around 30% due to global uncertainties, impacting\nIndonesia\u2019s tuna business despite strong demand in Asia, particularly.\nWhat is the impact of the war on Indonesian tuna exporters?
