Jakarta - The Red and White Fishing Village (KNMP) program initiated by President Prabowo Subianto is beginning to show its impact. This is seen at the KNMP Samber Binyeri modeling location, Biak, Papua.
Head of the Presidential Staff (KSP) Muhammad Qodari said the presence of KNMP in the village increased the productivity of fishermen up to two times. Namely, it increased from 5.35 tons to 10.85 tons of fish catch.
There was also an increase in the number of days at sea, from 9 days to 13 days or an increase of 44 percent. This was conveyed by Qodari at a press conference held by the Government Communication Agency (Bakom) at the KSP Office, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 1. This increase in productivity has a direct impact on fishermen's income.
The income of fishermen in Samber Binyeri increased from Rp. 4.35 million to Rp. 7.73 million per month, or an increase of 75 percent. The KNMP program is projected to be able to absorb 27,000 workers. It consists of 20,000 non-permanent workers (construction) and 7,000 permanent workers (placement in cold storage, transport vehicles, ice factories, shipyards, ship moorings, supply kiosks, SPBN, culinary centers, and cooperative managers and fishermen).
The KNMP program has entered the second phase of construction. In the first phase which started in September 2025, 65 KNMPs have been built in 60 districts/cities in 25 provinces.
As of March 30, 2026, the progress of its construction reached 99.23 percent. In 2026, the government targets a large surge in development of 1,000 KNMP.
