JAYAPURA - Kadin Indonesia sees the potential of Papua in strengthening the national economy with an optimistic perspective. Not only based on gold and copper commodities, the marine and fisheries sector in the eastern part of Indonesia is considered to be able to develop.
The Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Anindya Novyan Bakrie in Jayapura, Sunday, assessed that Papua has abundant natural resources, ranging from the mining sector to forest and marine products, but has not been fully utilized optimally.
"This potential is not only based on commodities such as gold and copper, but also includes the marine and fisheries sectors which can become a source of sustainable economic growth," he said, quoting ANTARA, April 12.
According to Anindya, Papua is also considered to have great opportunities in the development of renewable energy, especially solar energy and water energy, given the geographical conditions that support the use of clean energy.
Papua, he said, has the potential to strengthen national food security through the utilization of extensive agricultural land and the development of local commodities.
On the other hand, Papua's strategic geographical location in the eastern region of Indonesia makes it an opportunity as a trade gateway to the Pacific region.
"For this reason, strengthening infrastructure and logistics efficiency is the key to optimizing all of these potentials so that they can be well integrated," he said.
Anindya believes that Papua is capable of making a significant contribution to the growth of a more inclusive and equitable national economy with support for infrastructure and logistics.
Previously, the Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Anindya Novyan Bakrie also attended the VIII Kadin Papua Provincial Consultative Meeting (Musprov) and the Inauguration of the Chairman of the Papua Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Jecleana Joku with a term of office 2021-2026 which took place at the Governor's Office Hall of Papua, Jayapura City, Papua, Saturday, April 11.
