Total 3,000 school-age children are targeted to participate in Eating Fish Movement (Gemarikan) program, which was again held by Central Jakarta Maritime, Agriculture, and Food Security (KPKP) Sub-agency in this year.

Our target is 3,000 elementary students from 8 sub-districts

Central Jakarta KPKP Sub-agency Head, Penty Yunesi Pudyastuti stated, this program had been planned two years ago but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic. This program aimed to encourage students to like eating fish in order to build young generation that is smart, tough, and qualified.

"Our target is 3,000 elementary students from 8 sub-districts. We will encourage them to eat fish through storytelling," she said, Monday (1/10).

Because this is a big event, she conveyed that it needs to be planned carefully to make sure the activity runs well.

"In implementing it, we will collaborate with Education Sub-agency in region 1 and 2," she mentioned.
