Indonesia targeted to become world s largest vaname shrimp producer 14th January 2021
Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono Jakarta (ANTARA) - Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono targets to make Indonesia the world s largest vaname shrimp producer by increasing production to 16 million tons annually, from currently below one million tons.
To this end, Indonesia must begin developing new shrimp ponds spanning an area of 200 thousand hectares until 2024. If we succeed in developing 200 thousand hectares of shrimp ponds, with two harvest cycles of 80 tons per hectare per year, based on an economic analysis, it could generate nearly Rp1,200 trillion, Minister Trenggono noted in a press release here on Thursday.
