Bantul, Yogyakarta (ANTARA) – Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono reviewed the progress of the development of the Red and White Fishermen Village (KNMP) in Srandakan Sub-district, Bantul District, Yogyakarta.“This is part of my activities to see the progress of development across regions. I was in Tuban, East Java, and today I am here in Bantul,” Minister Trenggono said here on Friday.According to him, inspections of KNMP development progress had previously been carried out in other regions, such as Purworejo in Central Java, followed by projects in Pati, Central Java, and Cirebon, West Java.“Later, we will also see the progress in eastern Indonesia, because we are targeting that by the end of January all KNMP development across Indonesia will be completed,” he said.He explained that there are around 60 Red and White Fishermen Villages across Indonesia that are currently under development. For KNMP in Bantul, construction progress has reached the 17th week, or around 92 percent completion.“This will become a model, similar to what we built 18 months ago in Biak, Papua. The results were quite good, with productivity increasing by up to 121 percent and fishermen’s terms of trade rising significantly,” he said.He expressed hope that the presence of KNMP in Bantul would help boost the local economy and enable fishermen to grow faster and perform better.Based on information displayed on the project information board, KNMP Poncosari is equipped with landing stairs, boats, portable cold storage warehouses, portable ice factories, fish landing shelters, a management office, ship docking facilities, supply kiosks, culinary kiosks, and fish marketing kiosks.In addition, the village has post-harvest fish facilities, cold box shelters, net repair shelters, fishermen workshops, revetments, public toilets, water tank buildings, area lighting, waste disposal facilities, and a biotech wastewater treatment plant.
