This event was held on Wednesday, 16 August 2017 at Grand Clarion Hotel, Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. The participant of this event incuded from miniplant around Southeast Sulawesi Province, BSC stakeholder, and several representative from Southeast Sulawesi Marine and Fisheries Agency. This event was opened by Mr. Askabul Kahffi as Head of Southeast Sulawesi Marine and Fishery Agency. “Southeast Sulawesi is one of the largest BSC, Therefore, it is hoped that the mapping of supply chain will be more complete, so that Southeast Sulawesi can be a supplier of both consumption and industrial fish. So it is necessary to have a high commitment to this BSC in order to survive longer in the future”, says Head of Southeast Sulawesi MFA. On this event, Southeast Sulawesi MFA also invited some speaker such as Simson Masengi from Directorate General for Product Strengthening and Competitiveness MMAF and Hafit Rahman from Southeast Sulawesi Fish Quarantine and Inspection agency. Mr. Simson present about Good way of fish handling (CPIB) and Mr. Hafit present about Certification of processing feasibility (SKP)

The traceability and documentation process under Control Document need to be implemented by all of the segments of the supply chain (started from collectors/cooking stations, miniplants and processors) in order to promote compliance to the new regulations and generate the records and documents of the supply chain application and verification of the new regulations. Special attention needs to be focused on the picking plants (miniplants) where the cooked crab is transformed into crab meat making not possible to verify the minimum landing size (MLS) and egg berried female (EBF) afterwards.
