Aceh Fisheries Department Promotes Fish Consumption Initiative and Distributes Processed Fish in Pidie Jaya

The Aceh Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department (DKP) held a socialization event for the Community Movement for Liking to Eat Fish (Gemarikan) in three locations in Pidie Jaya Regency on Saturday (April 11, 2026). The activity aims to raise awareness about the importance of fish consumption as a source of protein and nutrients, especially for children. The outreach in Gampong Manyang Lancok, Meunasah Raya in the Jangka Buya Baroh sub-district, and Gampong Sarah Mane involved residents, village officials, and schoolchildren. Village Head Usman from Gampong Manyang Lancok stated this program is beneficial for public health, while Sub-district Head Hamdani from Jangka Buya Baroh appreciated the government's attention to children's growth and development. Village Head Khairuddin from Gampong Sarah Mane, a remote area mostly of farmers and planters, expressed gratitude for the processed fish packages provided. He also shared a hope that the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program initiated by President Prabowo Subianto could reach schools in his village, noting that the program's initial launch had previously been held there. During the event, activities opened with a recitation of Al-Fatihah. https://www.harianaceh.co.id/2026/04/12/sosialisasi-gemarikan-di-pidie-jaya-dkp-aceh-bagikan-417-paket-olahan-ikan/
