The fishery production in Indramayu is experiencing a notable decline as local fishermen grapple with the escalating prices of non-subsidized diesel fuel. The recent surge in fuel costs has prompted concerns among industry stakeholders, as many rely heavily on diesel for their operations. This development comes at a time when the overall sentiment in the fishing sector is increasingly pessimistic, reflecting broader economic challenges. The region's fishermen are facing tighter margins, exacerbated by the rising operational costs, which has led to a significant drop in production levels. Recent data indicates a year-on-year decrease of approximately 24.9% in output, raising alarms about the sustainability of local fisheries. With the current environment characterized by extreme fear among market participants, the future of Indramayu's fishery sector remains uncertain as stakeholders seek solutions to mitigate the impact of these rising costs.
