JAKARTA, KOMPAS— Lobster farmers have welcomed the government\'s decision to temporarily suspend the export of lobster larvae. The government’s policy to reopen lobster exports early this year was considered to have hampered lobster farming and resulted in the exploitation of lobster larvae.
A day after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) officially named Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Edhy Prabowo a suspect in the lobster export permit bribery case, the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry temporarily suspended the export of lobster larvae on Thursday (26/11/2020).
