JAKARTA - The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) is developing the implementation of the Smart Fisheries Village (SFV) program in Panembangan Village, Cilongok District, Banyumas Regency, Central Java.

The development of the SFV is to increase productivity and quality of fisheries produced by the community, as well as make the Panembangan area a pilot for smart fishing villages in Indonesia.

"With its potential, the central government will cooperate with local governments and the involvement of the Panembangan community to increase the economic scale of the village community through increasing productivity and quality," said Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (Minister of KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono in a written statement, quoted Thursday, October 26.

The revenue of the main fishery business actors in the village increased from the previous Rp500 thousand per month to Rp2.6 million per month. The success of Panembangan Village as SFV so far cannot be separated from the important role of fishery instructors since 2022.
