Fisheries In Indonesia
A fisherman is preparing a fishing net in Padang Beach, Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia, on July 11, 2024. The Indonesian government is focusing on the fisheries sector as part of its goal to make Indonesia a global maritime axis. Indonesians are consuming more than 35 kilograms of fish per capita per year, making it one of the most fish-dependent nations in the world. There is a slow increase in the share of the fisheries sector to Indonesia's GDP in the last decades, but it is relatively low compared to the contribution from land-based agriculture.
