Export of fishery products in Q1 of 2010 went up by 3.26 thousand tons or 3.7 percent.
The increase is primarily due to increased export of fresh fish, catch as well as cultivated fish, by 2.45 thousand tons.
This was stated by the secretary general at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, M Syamsul Maarif, here Thursday (8/7).
He added that total value of fish export in Q! amounted to USD 621.8 million or up by 7.09 percent against that of Q1 2009.
In total, export went up but there were products that went down, such as unfrozen and frozen shrimps, canned shrimps, fresh tuna, frozen cakalang tuna, frog legs, snails.
But the lower export of some products could be compensated for by those of others, such as canned tuna. Indonesia’s major fish products export is dominated by Japan, Ghana, Chile, New Zealand.
Import of fishery products also went up slightly. But import of shrimp feed went down, he added. (T.Bhr/dry/ton)
