FISH PROCESSING

A citizen cleans the fish before disbursed and sold at Rp20 thousand per kilogram as a step of increase in sales of sea yields through SMEs at Nambangan Cumpat, Surabaya, Monday (31/8). The government continues to strive to increase the growth of Small and Medium Micro Business (UMKM) due to the overall national economic foundation. Through the Cooperative and SME Minister, the government seeks an active role of BUMN to be an economical stabilistator such as for instance Jamkrindo that became a guarantee of UMKM credit. Bank-bank BUMN has also been subject to KUR interest rates from 22 percent per year to 12 percent per year. /ANTARA PHOTO/Tri SP/pd/15
