aluku Governor Said Assagaff says a large-scale Maritim Timur Jaya (MTJ) integrated fishing industry in Tual, Maluku, has contributed greatly to the development of the province.
"The MTJ constitutes the largest fishing industry in Maluku and is expected to help improve the welfare of local people," the governor said in Tual, as quoted by Antara news agency.
The governor made the remarks on Tuesday as he accompanied Coordinating Economic Minister Hatta Rajasa on a visit to take a closer look at the industry.
He said that the MTJ, which was developed by the Artha Graha Group, will help the local administration realize its dream of making the province one of the country's major fish producing centers.
The Maluku province and Tual City administrations, Assagaff said, will continue supporting improvement in the fishing industry so as to help local people, especially fishermen living in villages near the company.
He appreciated the company's commitment to investing a significant figure of more than Rp 1 trillion in the large-scale fish processing industry in Maluku.
"The MTJ can become an example and at the same time a model for other companies intending to invest in the fishing industry in Maluku," he said. (yln)
