Trenggono claims that his ministry continues to apprehend lobster seed smuggling perpetrators at airports in Jakarta, Denpasar, and Makassar, among others.
To this end, cooperation with Vietnam is expected to be able to tackle the problem. Vietnam will later invest in Indonesia to develop lobster farming.
"I asked them to invest in Indonesia. Vietnam is keen to invest, and they also hope that this pattern will make them more organized," he remarked.
Trenggono highlighted that what is crucial is that Vietnam is sharing its experience in developing lobster farming.
"They (Vietnamese investors) should partner with local communities to farm here. Later on, should they wish to export lobster seeds to their country, then they need to pay to this country,” he remarked.
