BackSupporting Grouper Fish Business Development

This program is a long-term initiative that began in 2007, focusing on grouper fish farming, which is of great interest to the people of Anambas Islands Regency (KKA). The initiative started with a collaboration between the company and fisheries experts from the Bogor Agricultural Institute. Additionally, natural feed breeding was carried out in Floating Net Cages (KJA), which are floating facilities developed for practical business activities, including management guidance, procurement, fingerling rearing, sales, and opening access to suppliers and marketing. The program involves 125 fishermen from 12 villages. Currently, the KJA has developed into a Fish Seed Center (BBI), and over the past four years, it has successfully distributed 39,667 fish seeds with a turnover of IDR 1.245 billion. At the same time, the BBI receives support from the Batam Marine Cultivation Center to conduct grouper breeding trials, enabling it to produce its own fish seeds and become a successful seedling center in KKA.
