Bogor - President Prabowo Subianto has instructed that the price of fuel oil (BBM) for fishermen entrepreneurs who have ships measuring 30 GT to 200 GT be Rp15,000 per liter.
This was conveyed by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia, after attending a limited meeting (ratas) with President Prabowo Subianto at the Garuda Yaksa Training Center, Bogor, West Java, Monday, July 13.
This policy is expected to reduce operational costs while providing business certainty for national fisheries actors.
According to Airlangga, President Prabowo gave the direction after observing the development of fuel prices used by fishermen. Therefore, the government decided to provide a special price for fishermen who have a boat measuring 30 GT to 200 GT.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources will soon issue regulations related to the policy. Airlangga explained that the subsidy of around Rp3,600 per liter will be financed using the funds of the Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDP), so that it does not burden the state budget.
The government also set a quota for the distribution of this special fuel for the next six months.
