The Maluku Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine Agency (BKHIT) is increasing its support for local community-owned aquaculture farms to ensure that regional fishery products remain free from HPIK, or Fish Quarantine Pest and Disease. This initiative involves direct field assistance and monitoring to help local farmers maintain high health standards for their harvests.
By providing this technical guidance, the agency aims to ensure that local aquaculture operations comply with national safety and quality requirements. This effort is intended to protect the integrity of the regional fishing industry and facilitate the safe distribution of fishery products, ensuring they meet the necessary health certifications for trade and consumption.
