The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has allocated approximately Rp10 trillion to bolster East Nusa Tenggara’s (NTT) maritime industry. Governor Melki Laka Lena announced that the funding supports National Strategic Programs, including salt industrialization in Rote Ndao and Kupang, vaname shrimp farming in East Sumba, and the development of "Merah Putih" fishing villages. The initiative aligns with President Prabowo Subianto’s commitment to salt self-sufficiency and marine conservation. Additionally, the plan covers seaweed industry expansion and Sawu Sea conservation, driving regional economic growth through strategic central government support.Source: https://www.antaranews.com/berita/5438182/gubernur-kkp-alokasikan-rp10-triliun-bangun-sektor-kelautan-di-ntt (ICE GIACARTA)
