Indonesia introduces regulations to promote fish processing industry

摘要

Indonesia has introduced new regulations to increase the volume of marine fish processed locally as part of efforts to expand the potentially large fisheries processing industry and increase employment for low income coastal fishing communities. The government's long awaited decision to support the fisheries processing sector is also expected to benefit the wider domestic fishing community as foreign companies planning to fish in Indonesian waters could chose to team up with local fishing enterprisesand expand the size of the nation's deep sea fishing fleet.
