Jakarta, Sep 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Indonesia has commenced its inaugural export of canned tuna, manufactured by PT Pasifik Masami Indonesia in Banyuwangi, East Java, and destined for Canada on Monday.
"The overall export is valued at 10 million U.S. dollars and is scheduled to take place over the next six months," said Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sakti Wahyu Trenggono.
