JAKARTA - The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) held the Indonesia Aquaculture Business Forum (IABF) 2024. This event was held to strengthen cooperation in the field of aculture.

Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono said the event was held today because he believes that the acultural sector in Indonesia is still far behind.

"So, this is actually an activity that we will continue to carry out, we are jostling and we are making a pilot activity (modeling). Because we believe in the KKP that the accultural or cultivation sector, we are still far behind," said Minister Trenggono in the Indonesia Aquaculture Business Forum (IABF) 2024 agenda at the Raffles Hotel Jakarta, Monday, April 29.

Trenggono assessed that the forum is expected to be a strength for Indonesia to improve the acultural sector in the future.

"We will make this (2024 IABF Forum) one of the strengths of Indonesia, the strength of the Indonesian nation in the future," he said.

The forum with the theme 'Sustainable Aquaculture For Food Security and Economic Growth' is expected to provide encouragement for technology development and innovation in the field of Indonesian aquatics. Technological innovation will boost productivity and competitiveness of Indonesian fishery products in the domestic and global markets.
