Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono acknowledged Vietnam's strong efforts to obtain clear lobster seeds, resulting in a $2.5 billion export value to China despite not having natural spawning. In response to the large number of Vietnamese fishing boats entering Indonesian territory, Trenggono visited Vietnam and was surprised to see large lobster cultivation ponds there. He plans to open a tap for lobster seed exports to Vietnam on the condition that the country carries out cultivation in Indonesia and pays officially to the Indonesian government.
