JAKARTA - An aquatic technology company from Indonesia, eFishery through the eFishery Foundation, collaborated with the Food Guard to distribute 50 kilograms of fish to the welfare community in Bratang Tangkis, Surabaya.

This activity is the first initiative carried by the eFishery Foundation since eFishery was founded 10 years ago.

VP of Public Affairs eFishery Muhammad Chairil said the fish distribution activity was in accordance with the vision and mission of eFishery, which is to provide world food needs through accultural products.

"We want to invite the public to prefer to eat fish because fish are a good source of protein with a high content of omega three and are very relevant to support the reduction in stunting rates," Chairil said in a written statement received by VOI, Wednesday, October 18.

Chairil added that his party continues to be committed to reducing stunting and hunger rates in Indonesia.

"In line with the vision and mission of the eFishery Foundation, eFishery hopes to contribute to eradicating hunger in Indonesia and have a more positive impact on future generations," he said.

Meanwhile, Food Guard Co-Founder & COO Dedhy Bharoto Trunoyudho said the eFishery Foundation and Food Guard have a common vision to resolve food insecurity issues in the country.

"We welcome the cooperation of fish donation activities from eFishery. We hope that in the future the Indonesian people, especially industries and the food sector, will be more motivated to donate to the welfare community for the realization of Indonesia's free of hunger and free from wasted food waste," he said.

For your information, the eFishery Foundation stands with the aim of contributing and having a greater and sustainable positive impact on the social, educational, cultural and environmental aspects, especially in the acultural industry.

For the social sector, the eFishery Foundation continues to strive to help reduce the national stunting rate to 14 percent by 2024.

Through its vision and mission, eFishery Foundation which was founded by eFishery wants to take advantage of technology to continue to build education that can be easily accessible to cultivators and its next generation, strengthen food security through accultural products, and reduce carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, based on UN data, more than 149 million or about 22 percent of toddlers worldwide are stunted, of which 6.3 million are early childhood or toddlers.

Currently, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 21.6 percent, while the target to be achieved is 14 percent by 2024.

According to FAO in 2022, Indonesia recorded a prevalence of stunting at 5.9 percent. This means that around 5.9 percent of the total population of Indonesia or around 16.2 million people are estimated to be still starving. This percentage is still relatively high on the Southeast Asian scale.

For this reason, joint efforts are needed to take a role in reducing stunting and hunger rates in Indonesia.
