ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry - 39th AMAF Meeting in Pictures
MENTERI Pertanian Andi Amran Sulaiman selaku Ketua ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) ke-39 di Chiang Mai, Thailand, akhir September 2017.
Mentan Amran Sulaiman menyatakan dukungan Indonesia terhadap pembentukan ASEAN Coordinating Center for Animal Health and Zoonoses (ACCAHZ), yang akan mendukung upaya pencegahan dan pengawasan penyakit lintas batas dan zoonoses di kawasan.
"Rencana pembentukan ACCAHZ juga akan mendukung program Pemerintah Indonesia mencapai swasembada daging, dengan mencegah masuknya berbagai penyakit hewan melalui perbatasan-perbatasan Indonesia dengan negara-negara ASEAN," kata Mentan.
Sementara usulan Thailand tentang ASEAN Common Fisheries Policy (ACFP), ditolak Mentan lantaran proposal tersebut tidak sesuai dengan karakter perikanan ASEAN yang didominasi perikanan skala kecil. "Ada kesenjangan cukup besar pula pada kemampuan pengelolaan perikanan antara negara anggota ASEAN," kata Amran Sulaiman (Foto2: Humas Kementan)
INDONESIAN Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman as Chairman of ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry (39th AMAF Meeting) in Chiang Mai, Thailand, end of September 2017.
Minister Sulaiman said that Indonesia supports the establishment of ASEAN Coordinating Center for Animal Health and Zoonoses (ACCAHZ), which will support the prevention and control of cross border diseases and zoonoses in the region.
"The plan to establish ACCAHZ will also support Indonesia's program of meat self-sufficiency, by preventing the entry of various animal diseases through the Indonesian border with ASEAN countries," he said.
Meanwhile, Thailand's proposal on ASEAN Common Fisheries Policy (ACFP) was rejected by Indonesia because the ASEAN fisheries are more dominated by small-scale enterprises. "There is a gap in fisheries management capability among ASEAN member countries," Mr Sulaiman said.
