Indonesia to develop seafood clusters to encourage specialisation 

Indonesia would develop fishery industry clusters in some areas to help districts promote their leading fishery products.

The ministry of fishery and marine resources' spokesman, Saut P Hutagalung, said Wednesday (Jan 17) that focusing on just one chief product would help the district become more competitive.

Ten main fishery commodities have been identified to be developed under the cluster system, such as tuna, shrimp, seaweed, crabs and aquarium fish.
