Significant Increase of Fish and Seafood Prices Around Java, Indonesia During W52

Fishes like giant trevally (species: Charanx ignobilis) and common squid (species: loligo sp) experienced a significant price increment in fish landing site Tanjung Pasir in Tangerang regency, Banten, West Java Province in W52. The two fishes are commonly consumed in the local market but are much-limited availability at the moment due to recent low catch. The extreme weather and rough sea during the rainy season in Indonesia are keeping hundreds of fishing boats in the area at the shore for days. Due to the situation, the price of giant trevally fish has been offered much higher prices in W52 at USD 6.05/kg, when in earlier weeks the price stood at USD 4.77/kg. Fresh common squid prices also increased to USD 4.77/kg from USD 3.18/kg.
