Therefore, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) will facilitate the community who are interested in developing the potential of shrimp farming. The way to do this is through the People's Business Credit (KUR) program, which has a loan interest of 6% and requires collateral in the form of legal business (several businesses). The budget for KUR from KKP is IDR 195 trillion.
"(The collateral) is not fixed or movable property. Accumulated loans of IDR 500 million," said Edhy. KKP also has another scheme for the community, who wants to access capital. Namely the BLU-LPMUKP scheme with an interest of only 3% per year.
