BENGKULU - Bengkulu Province exports as many as 6,000▁malamks to two countries, namely Malaysia and the Philippines. In detail, 5,000 were sent to the Malaysian market and 1,000 minik were sent to the Philippines. "The Bengkulu province is the first area in Indonesia to export loan sharks," said the Head of the Fish Quarantine Center, Quality Control and Safety of Fishery Products (BPKIPM) of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Pamuji Lestari, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, October 26. He said that livingherds are commodities that are sought after a lot in ASEAN countries, because they can be used as an alternative means of treatment to overcome hypertension, diabetes, accelerate wound healing and maintain skin health. Therefore, his party supports Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Sultan Lintah Indonesia to export independently from its cultivation commodities.

With this export activity, it can encourage MSMEs for other commodities in Bengkulu Province to export products abroad.

For the type of living loan exported by Bengkulu, it is a type of Hirudo Mannilensis that can be used for cosmetic medicine and raw materials. One of the loan cultivation in Bengkulu Pendi explains that loan commodities have a great opportunity in the export market even though runny nose is considered a pest by the public. "I am happy that this export activity is considered, although many people think that▁perhatianl is a pest," he said. Previously, Bengkulu Province had exported 1,000 mink to Malaysia which was used as one of the treatments. It is known that the release of the initial export was also the result of the synergy and collaboration of BKIPM supported by the Bengkulu Provincial Government, Angkasa Pura II, Garuda Indonesia, and Bengkulu Customs.
