Indonesian Fish Imports to Pass Through Malta
In order to facilitate the overseas marketing of its products, Indonesia has named Malta as one of the entry gates for the country’s fishery products to the European Union. Marine Resources and Fisheries Minister Freddy Numberi said that access for Indonesian fishery exports (including ornamental fish) to Europe would be easier through Malta due to its location near the southern borders. "The transportation cost from Indonesia to Malta will also be lower than from Indonesia to other countries or cities in Europe," said Numberi. "Malta's position between Europe and Africa could also be used as an entry gate to the Middle East or African countries."
