JAKARTA - Indonesian fishery products have been accepted in 171 countries in the world, said Head of the Center for Standardization and Compliance System, Fish Quarantine Agency, Quality Control and Safety of Fishery Products (BKIPM) Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Teguh Samudro.

"The main exporters of Indonesian fishery products are tuna, skipjack, shrimp, squid, lobster and crab," said Teguh Samudro in Temanggung, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Wednesday, June 29.

He conveyed this after the 2022 Quarantine Quality Month activities held by the Yogyakarta Fish Quarantine and Fishery Product Quality Control (SKIPM) Station in Purbosari Village, Ngadirejo District, Temanggung Regency.

The main export destinations include the United States, China, Japan, and the European Union.

Teguh said that the export value of fishery products in 2021 will be around US$5.5 billion and is targeted to reach US$6.5 billion this year.

"Of course this is in addition to the existing potential, then the existing programs are also very supportive of increasing production. We also have to ensure that the products produced do meet the quality standards required by the destination country," he said.

According to him, the required standard is dynamically developing because it is related to health issues. This is a trade issue so it is related to environmental health, human health, animal health and others.

"Our task at BKIPM is to ensure that the products produced by the KKP are guaranteed quality, health and safety. From the beginning of production, from ships for capture fisheries and in hatcheries for aquaculture," he said.

He said whether the fish will be exported or for local consumption, the quality of health and safety is no different.
