exports and production, said Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sakti Wahyu
Trenggono on June 14.

Indonesia's shrimp output contributed 6.9 percent to the global supply during the period, he pointed out. The country was the fifth-largest shrimp exporter worldwide in 2019 after India, Ecuador, Vietnam, and China.
