President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) discussed a plan on operation of Light Rail Transit (LRT) in Bogor city with Deputy Mayor of Bogor Dede A Rachim, on Sunday evening.

"My concern is about transportation issue. He asked about two things. The first question is about Bogor preparations for LRT project," Rachim told the press.

The President also asked about the location of LRT station in Bogor (West Java), he added.

LRT is expected to be able to transport 120 thousand Bogor commuters daily.

He estimated that 30 percent of passengers of electric train (KRL) and 40 percent of private car users will switch to LRT.

"Why is it 40 percent? Because in 2020, the Jakarta Administration will apply Electronic Road Pricing (ERC). So, those using cars will be charged twice for toll roads. This must be anticipated," he said.

Maluku Province on Sunday exported more than 6.4 tons of fresh tuna to Japan from the Pattimura Ambon international airport. Head of the Maluku Industry and Trade Office Elvis Pattiselano said that exports carried out by PT. Maluku Prima Mandiri utilizes the services of Batik Air and Lion Air airlines.

This direct export is only transit in Jakarta after the Maluku provincial government with the support of a number of competent parties handled the transaction in an integrated manner.

"So the export value of Maluku's fresh tuna to a number of countries in the past four months has jumped sharply compared to that in the last eight months of 2018 when the value was recorded at only 10 million US dollars," he said.

He pointed out that fresh tuna exports were also carried out by two other exporters, PT. Harta Samudera and PT. Cemerlang Laut Ambon.

In addition, live mangrove crabs were exported by Putri Desi to Singapore and Malaysia. The export took place on January 12, 2019, with a volume of 1.1 tons.

Live mangrove crabs which are directly exported from Maluku are now increasingly favored by consumers in Singapore and Malaysia. Some 2.04 tons of the crabs were exported on May 1, 2019 and 1.45 tons of them went to those neighboring countries on May 4, 2019.

Maluku through PT. Kamboti had also launched exports of nutmegs to India, the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates from the Naval Base in Ambon on April 30, 2019.

"Maluku is currently experiencing an increase in exports, following a decline due to the impact of the humanitarian tragedy in 1999," Elvis said.

He said the Maluku export improvement team was formed on November 8, 2018. (ant)
