This was conveyed by the Director of Business and Investment of the Directorate General of PDSPKP Catur Sarwanto, in the 2022 Marine and Fisheries Business Investment Opportunity Webinar, Thursday (20/1/2022). "Our target is of course to increase by 3-4 % of the total investment that we currently plan at IDR 6.02 trillion. so hopefully this can be achieved. Because there is a new policy, there is one thing that is quite interesting in investment, of course, as a driving force later, "said Catur. Catur said, if you look back, the realization of investment for the past 5 years is still Java-centric. Therefore, he believes that the existence of a scalable fishing program will encourage more equitable investment throughout Indonesia.
As a start, KKP will hold an investment forum to provide education and space for investors or potential investors to ask further details regarding investment opportunities in the marine and fisheries sector. "Regarding our planned activities in March, we will encourage one of them related to new regulations that must be socialized," he said.
