Joko, If Elected, Would Build 100 Fish Centers, Set Up Maritime Bank
Jakarta. Presidential candidate Joko Widodo promises to build 100 fishery centers across the archipelago and set up a maritime bank in order to boost the country fish sector.
"If elected we commit to build a hundred fishery centers, which all will be equipped with cold storage," said Jokowi, as he popularly known, in a special session devoted to the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), the country's most powerful business lobby group, on Friday.
Jokowi also asked that businessmen work with fisherman in developing the fisheries industry.
Jokowi's also wants to make a maritime bank, especially to provide finance for fisherman.
"Fisherman only need Rp 400,000 to Rp 1,500,000 [$33 to $125] each time they go to sea. But sometimes it's hard for them to come up with the money," he said.
Despite being an archipelago nation, surrounded by oceans and seas, the fishery sector only contributes less than 5 percent of Indonesia's gross domestic product.
Joko, governor of Jakarta, is facing former general Prabowo Subianto in the July 9 presidential election.
