JAKARTA - Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, emphasized that he prohibited the export of lobster seeds or fries during his tenure. Later, the fry can only be cultivated in Indonesia.

"The fry, I am certain I will ban the export of them. Why? Because the fry is a wealth of this nation, a wealth of Indonesian nature," said Trenggono, as quoted from his personal instructor @swtrenggono, Sunday, February 28.

"It (fry) can only be cultivated until then the size of consumption because the added value is in the measure of consumption," he continued.

The ban on the export of fry, said Trenggono, was due to the potential for criminal acts of corruption. In fact, this has already happened in the case of Edhy Prabowo.

In addition, by only allowing cultivation, we can be sure that it will get big benefits for the community.

"If the lobster seed is sold, for example, they do not know how much the price is, it is the rich country that buys it because it is only one year old, it has already got a number that is tens of times or hundreds of percent of the increase," he explained.

Later in the supervision or prevention of fry export, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries will collaborate with the Police. So, all parties or persons who try to violate will be subjected to criminal charges.

"Now in my time, I say that the result of this case has been put on hold. But I declare in front of all of you that I will definitely stop it and that we will ask the police chief for assistance to always prevent the problem of fry," he said.
