Policy Directions and Strategies
Infrastructure with high economic value, including dams, is expected to provide maximum services. In addition to meeting the demand for raw water, dams can also be used for irrigation, flood reduction, and as hydroelectric power plants.
Maintenance, recovery, and conservation for lake revitalization are focused on 15 national priority lakes, namely: Danau Toba, Danau Maninjau, Danau Singkarak, Danau Kerinci, Danau Rawa Danau, Danau Rawa Pening, Danau Batur, Danau Sentarum, Danau Kaskade Mahakam (Semayang-Melintang-Jeumpang), Danau Tondano, Danau Limboto, Danau Poso, Danau Tempe, Danau Matano, and Danau Sentani.
(iii) Increasing availability, access, and quality of food consumption, which will be carried out using the following strategies: (1) improving the quality of consumption, safety, food enrichment, and seed biofortification;
(2) increasing the availability of agricultural, fishery, and seafood products, mainly by increasing productivity and sustainable production techniques to maintain the stability of supply and the price of basic goods; (3) increasing productivity and the welfare of workers in agriculture and fishery, and ensuring market certainty; (4) maintaining sustainable productivity of agricultural resources that are adaptive to climate change, developing precision farming systems, improving land management, and strengthening irrigation; and (5) improving governance of food systems.
The implementation of the first strategy incorporates the development of biofortified rice seeds, genetically engineered products, enriched rice, food nanotechnology, local produce, food diversification at the household level, and improvements to food quality for school children.
The second strategy is to facilitate the cultivation of rice, corn, livestock, fish, and other strategic food commodities;
provide production inputs through, among others, the national seed system; provide targeted and subsidized fertilizer; provide seaweed-based organic fertilizer; and develop agricultural corridors based on cooperative farming in South Kalimantan, which will provide food and agricultural support for the new capital city.
The third strategy is to consolidate a database of farmers and fishermen;
form cooperatives for farmers and fishermen; provide agricultural insurance, fishery insurance, and aquaculture insurance; and provide inclusive financing, training, and counseling.
The fourth strategy includes effective management of various lands, including substandard lands, lowlands, uplands, and dry lands;
building water efficiency;
management of 9,500 km of production roads and 3,500 km of farming roads; and development of aquaculture areas that are supported by a sufficient irrigation system, development of digital agriculture,
and of unmanned aircraft technology (or drones).
The fifth strategy is to strengthen the food logistics system at the national level; integrate data for food production with data for strategic exports and imports that include fish;
develop a platform for food production and agriculture based on data-driven methods; develop a warehouse receipt system; and manage a sustainable food system, urban food system, and food waste program.
In addition, food resource management is focused on: (1) production centers and regions with high demand, namely in Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi; and (2) areas prone to food insecurity, vulnerable to starvation, and vulnerable to stunting, including poorer regions and border areas in Maluku and Papua.
(iv) Improving the management of maritime affairs, marine affairs, and fishery using the following strategies:
(1) using fishery management areas (WPP) as a basis for sustainable fishery; transforming the institutional and functional framework of WPP;
improving governance of WPP; and structuring coastal and sea spatial plans (2) managing marine ecosystems and using marine resources in a sustainable manner; (3) increasing production, productivity, quality assurance, and safety of marine and fishery products; (4) facilitating business, financing, technology, and the marketplace;
empowering and improving the welfare of fishermen in an integrated
manner; protecting small-scale marine and fishery businesses; and (5) improving the quality and competency of human resources;
boosting technological innovation and research in the collective maritime, marine, and fishery sector; and strengthening the maritime and fishery database. In addition, efforts to strengthen the implementation and governance of maritime activities will continue in order to achieve the 14th goal of sustainable development, namely “Life Below Water”.
The first strategy is to strengthen data for fish stocks and develop the institutional framework of WPP, manage fishery activities in public waters, finalize ocean zoning plans, and control the use of ocean space and small islands by considering marine spatial planning (or RZWP3K) and provincial spatial planning (RTRW).
The second strategy is to strengthen the management of marine conservation areas in a sustainable manner and increase the use of marine bioproducts and biotechnology.
The third strategy is to accelerate aquaculture production, develop modern and sustainable aquaculture clusters, revitalize shrimp and milkfish ponds, and expand cultivated lands;
develop a system for leading hatcheries; develop capture fishery that is economical and sustainable, promote fishery exploration in KEK and open seas, strengthen cooperation between small and large fishery, develop eco-friendly fishing
ports, develop digital-based fishery, expand and intensify salt flats, improve salt quality, develop marine and fishery centers, and strengthen the fish quarantine system.
The fourth strategy is to facilitate business growth and investment in the form of insurance for fishermen and fish cultivators, provide land certification for fishermen and fish cultivators, develop advanced fishing settlements, develop financing schemes or microfinance products that are both affordable and accessible, strengthen fishermen's organizations, regulate fishermen's access to resource management, arrange and simplify business licensing, increase investment in fishery that is supported by conducive regulations, and increase compliance from marine and fishery business actors.
The fifth strategy is to provide training and digital-based counseling, strengthen vocational education, strengthen maritime literacy, develop fishery entrepreneurship, develop
competency certification, expand the fishery workforce to include younger generation of fishermen, develop research and innovation, disseminate sustainable and productive fishery/marine technology, establish leadings centers for marine and maritime research, and strengthen the database for the maritime and fishery sector.
Main fishery products include tuna, skipjack, cob, small crab, shrimp, tilapia, catfish, milkfish, seaweed, and other commodities of high economic value that are to be developed in support of export targets and food security. In addition, salt production continues to be developed to meet domestic consumption needs.
Shrimp-based products will be developed in Sumatra, West Nusa Tenggara, Java, and Sulawesi; tilapia- based products in Sumatra, Java, and Sulawesi; seaweed-based products in Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi, Maluku and Kalimantan; and lastly salt production centers in Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Nusa Tenggara.
