The trends of consuming more packaged – convenient food have recently grown in Indonesia. Some of the imported seafood is used for the canning industry, while others are sold in simple processing forms like steak or cut. The local canning industry had depended much on pacific mackerel imports from China or Japan, although some of the small volumes also had shown in Indonesia.
