Policy analysis 0f Increasing Processed Fishery Products in Tanjung Pinang City

Abstract

 Indonesia is an archipelagic country with two-thirds of its territory in the form of oceans which has a huge potential for marine and fishery resources. One of the areas with this potential is Tanjungpinang City in Riau Islands Province. This research aims to analyze the economic, institutional, and technical potential of the fisheries sector in the coastal area of Kampung Madong – Sei Nyirih as part of efforts to develop a sustainable local economy based on fishery resources. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach sourced from various secondary data such as BPS publications, government regulations, and related academic literature. The results of the study show that although the number of fishery households in Tanjungpinang City decreased by 76.62% in 2022, the production value actually increased by 25.15%. This shows an increase in productivity and economic value of the fisheries sector. The Tanjungpinang City Government through the Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries Office has implemented various fishermen empowerment programs and the development of processed fishery products. In addition, the issuance of Tanjungpinang Mayor Regulation Number 54 of 2023 concerning the Action Plan for the Development of the Kampung Madong – Sei Nyirih Tourism Area is a strategic step in improving the quality, packaging, and marketing of fishery products to strengthen the coastal economy in a sustainable manner.
