JAKARTA - North Sulawesi exported frozen fish to the United States in the second week of March 2021.

"This is done because US buyers' interest in frozen tuna from North Sulawesi is quite high", said Darwin Muksin, Head of Daglu, Department of Industry and Commerce of North Sulawesi, in Manado, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, March 24.

This time, 18 tons of frozen fish were exported to the United States and was able to generate foreign exchange for the country of 149,625 US dollars.

Darwin said that the American market was very difficult to convince a product to enter the country, it took a long struggle.

So, he said, exporters from North Sulawesi should be able to take advantage of this open opportunity.

He hopes that this export activity will be carried out routinely so that it will have a considerable impact on economic growth in the regions.

Exporters, he said, must maintain the quality and quantity of products so that this cooperation can continue.

The government, he said, would continue to seek new markets for exporters in North Sulawesi.
