Indonesia is a Maritime Country

Indonesia is a Maritime Country


Indonesia is a maritime country which yields many high quality fish. Many Indonesian people consume fish everyday to fulfill their need. The raising number of consumer increases the number of fishermen in Indonesia. The government spends a lot of funds to increase fishery. Then the government tries to cover the foreign debt through fishery. Through fishery, the government earns Rp. 8,97 quintillions.

However, it does not persist for a long time. In 10 years, 39 industries of fishery were closed because of the row materials crisis and bad operational management. Then Indonesia could only yield products of fishery from 10-1000 tons become 1-2 tons per day. By the use of formalin, the government’s income became more and more decreased. The decrease of government’s income caused 49.000 people lost their jobs. It made worse the image of Indonesia in international world.

Therefore, the government tried to overcome this problem by:
a. improving the operational management.
b. Industrial development.
c. Opening new field of work.
d. Investment in other sectors.
e. Stopping illegal fish catching.

The government’s effort can only give a little help for the economy of the country. Thus, the government increases export of other sectors.
The government has to try to wipe out the misuse of funds and to look for the right solution, to improve international view, to prohibit the use of food poison for human like formalin, and to improve the economy of country.
Therefore, we have to use the potency of our nation as optimum as possible.
