President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that the abundant water in the food estate irrigation area or Central Kalimantan food estate will be used for fish farming in cages.

"Because the water is abundant in every existing irrigation, we are also starting to cultivate fish in cages," President Jokowi said in a press statement while inspecting a food estate in Central Kalimantan, Thursday, virtually.

President Jokowi said that the government will see the results of fish farming in the next 3-4 months. He hopes that in this way farmers' income will increase, not only from planting rice, shallots, and oranges but also from raising fish, including ducks.

"We will try this business model combination first. If it's successful and good, we will copy the business model in other places per 1,000 hectares of land, there will be business models that we will build," said President Jokowi. (Antaranews)
