JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Gerindra Party politician, as well as Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto’s younger brother, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, said that Susi Pudjiastuti’s policy banning lobster farming at the time was a mistake.

Because, according to him, Indonesia has the potential to become a superpower country from the cultivation of marine and fishery products, including lobster farming. That way, Indonesia can beat Vietnam.

“So the policy of the former minister (Susi Pudjiastuti) was very wrong. The former minister banned lobster farming, not just exports. Lobster farming is forbidden, it is forbidden.prohibited, that’s wrong, “Hashim said in Jakarta on Friday (4/12/2020).

The ban on the export and cultivation of lobsters is contained in Ministerial Regulation Number 56 of 2016. The issuance of this regulation is a turning point so that lobster seeds are not exported to Vietnam, which by the way is the main importer of fingerlings from the country.

Until 2019, their ranks managed to save potential state losses of Rs 1.37 trillion from the illegal export of fingerlings.

However, according to Hashim, many fishermen who still farmed lobsters were caught as a result of Susi’s policy.

“In fact, the ones who have suffered a lot (are) the fishermen. According to experts, Sara (Saraswati / Tangsel Deputy Mayor Candidate), many fishermen were arrested. Poor fishermen’s farming business is closed. In West Java , East Java, at NTT, at NTB, “Hashim said.

In addition, he emphasized that his company has been dedicated to the maritime and fishing sector for 34 years. However, since obtaining the fingerling export license last May, PT Bima Sakti Mutiara has never exported a single time.

The reason is that there are still four documents obtained by PT Bima Sakti Mutiara, who was previously engaged in pearl cultivation.

The four documents include Certificate of having carried out lobster farming for exporters, Certificate of quarantine facility for fish, Certificate of good farming practices and Letter determining the release time of lobster seeds.

“The fact is that to this day, PT Bima Sakti Mutiara does not have, or is still waiting, the completion of an export permit. It is still waiting,” said Hotman in Jakarta on Friday (4/12/2020) .

At least, there are still four documents obtained by PT Bima Sakti Mutiara, who was previously engaged in pearl cultivation.

The four documents include Certificate of having carried out lobster farming for exporters, Certificate of quarantine facility for fish, Certificate of good farming practices and Letter determining the release time of lobster seeds.

The incomplete document means that PT Bima Sakti Mutiara does not yet have an export license.

“But so far we have not exported lobster. I want to clarify this because almost all my friends, even our family, think that we already have a lobster license. So far we have not, please, straighten it out. We feel dizholimi,” he concluded.

The arrest of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo for the alleged bribery of the case of the export license of lobster seeds dragged the last name of Prabowo and Gerindra Party, which incidentally is also on the list of exporters of lobster seeds.

In July, Edhy had argued that it would not be the party politicians on the list of candidate exporters who would make the decision. The order is issued by the team, which is made up of the General Directorate of Capture Fisheries, the General Directorate of Culture and the BKIPM.

The team also involves the Inspection General and is supervised by the Secretary General. As long as the team doesn’t follow the rules, Edhy emphasizes that they don’t hesitate to revoke their permission.

“If there are people who think there are people from Gerindra, it turns out that I am people from Gerindra, no problem. I am ready to be criticized for that. But try to count how many people were told? Maybe no more than 5 people or 2 people I know, “Edhy said on the Raker. with Commission IV DPR RI, Monday (7/6/2020).
