Minister Susi Asks Vietnam Not to Import Lobster Seeds from Indonesia: https://www.inews.id/news/nasional/menteri-susi-minta-vietnam-tidak-impor-bibit-lobster-dari-indonesia/280289/14 October 2018
Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti asked Vietnam not to import or buy seeds and lobster laying eggs from Indonesia. This is to reduce the level of lobster smuggling from Indonesia abroad. The high demand for lobster from Vietnam has caused many Indonesian traders to smuggle. Though this activity is very threatening the sustainability of lobsters. Lobsters that can be bought are those that are above 200 grams per head and are not in the condition of laying eggs. Vietnam can raise it up to 800 grams.

Previously, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries stated that lobster seed smuggling is still prevalent in a number of regions because the prices offered by buyers or destination countries are high. The Fish Quarantine and Inspection Agency (BKIPM) of the Ministry of Mmine Affairs and Fisheries, Rina said that pearl lobster seeds were sold in Indonesia at a maximum of Rp. 79,000 - Rp. 90,000 per head. But if it's already in Singapore, it's around 10 US dollars or around Rp145,000 per head. Whereas lobster seeds of the type of sand are sold in Indonesia, around Rp. 18,000 - Rp. 26,000 per head, while in Singapore the price can be doubled.
