Kuningan Village-Owned Enterprises Develop Black Nile Tilapia Cultivation, First Harvest: 7 Quintals Sold at IDR 26,000/kg

Dec, 16 2025

KORAN-PIKIRAN RAKYAT - The Pakembangan Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) in Mandirancan District, Kuningan Regency, is developing black tilapia cultivation in tarpaulin ponds on approximately 200 bata (280 square meters) of land. The seeds are imported from Subang Regency.

Erik, Director of BUMDes Pakembangan, stated that black tilapia cultivation is a new breakthrough to improve food security, in line with government policies encouraging BUMDes to manage village funds for food security.

In addition to improving village food security, this venture opens up new economic opportunities for residents and increases village income.

Black tilapia are known for their thicker flesh, fast growth, and relative disease resistance. This type of fish can be cultivated not only in traditional fish ponds but also in artificial ponds, including tarpaulin ponds.

To cultivate black tilapia, his team has constructed 12 tarpaulin ponds with a diameter of 3 meters. Based on meter calculations, one square meter is sufficient for cultivating 100 fish—120 fish the size of a thumb.

Erik explained that his team has only just begun cultivating tilapia for a little over two months. The target is to harvest the fish three months and 10 days after the start of cultivation.

He explained that the first harvest has already begun, with a yield of 7 quintals. The fish from the first harvest are being sold to residents at a price of Rp 26,000 per kilogram.

"A few days ago, we carried out the first harvest, but it wasn't a mass harvest. Only a small portion was harvested, selecting fish that were fit for consumption," said Erik on Monday, October 6, 2025.

The Head of Mandirancan District, Sri Waluya Suparman, hopes that the tilapia cultivation carried out by the Pakembangan Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) will improve the welfare of residents and serve as an example for other villages in managing natural resource potential to boost the local economy.

Furthermore, it is hoped that in the future, the development will not only be carried out by the Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), but also by residents independently, and even directed towards meeting the need for free nutritious food.

Furthermore, residents can seize business opportunities in food processing using black tilapia as the main ingredient. For example, there are stalls selling pepes (steamed rice) and pindang (spiced tilapia).

"Mandirancan District has great potential for fish farming. We encourage fish farming," said Waluya.

Integrated Areas in Cikarang Strengthen the Attractiveness of Property Investment

Cikarang: Property developer PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia is optimistic about the residential and commercial prospects in the Kota Deltamas area, which is considered to be growing. This includes a new marketing gallery building in early 2026 as part of the Savasa development in Kota Deltamas. Meanwhile, from a macro perspective, eastern Jakarta remains one of the epicenters of regional economic growth. This is supported by the concentration of industrial areas, improved connectivity, stable demand for a productive workforce, and its status as a National Strategic Project. Undeniably, total investment realization in Bekasi Regency reached approximately IDR 61.8 trillion by the third quarter of 2025, making Bekasi the region with the highest investment realization in West Java. At a micro level, the development of Savasa creates an integrated residential ecosystem that integrates residential, educational, and commercial functions. This ecosystem drives increasing demand that adapts to residents' activities while also offering the potential for long-term returns. Going forward, the area will continue to be developed through the provision of supporting facilities, ranging from green areas and thematic parks to strengthening commercial areas such as CO Square and SAVASA Point. All developments are designed to improve the quality of life while strengthening the area's value. "Entering 2026, market demand is now focused not only on residential properties but also on commercial assets capable of generating sustainable income. We are preparing Savasa as an area ready to grow with investors," said Taishi Inagaki, President Director of PT Panahome Deltamas Indonesia, in a written statement on Friday, February 6, 2026. In terms of accessibility, the Savasa area is approximately five minutes from several major toll gates, including Km 37, Km 42, and the Jakarta-Cikampek Selatan Toll Road Km 31. This location is also close to the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Train Station. 2026 Area Development In early 2026, the developer positioned CO Square as a flagship commercial product in the Deltamas CBD area. This product features an alfresco shophouse concept with a double-facade design intended to support business activities in the food and beverage, lifestyle retail, and service sectors. Furthermore, development of area facilities is also continuing, including green open spaces, sports fields, and plans to build worship facilities and a themed park. Based on internal company data, rental prices for housing units in the area have reached up to IDR 250 million per year. "This concept is considered relevant to the needs of modern businesses such as F&B, lifestyle retail, and experience-based businesses. From an investment perspective, our new product has several unique selling points," said Inagaki. This year, SAVASA is continuing the development of area facilities, including green open spaces, a basketball court in Grande Park, and, in the future, a prayer room and a four-season themed park. This development marks the area's increasingly established phase, as this is a crucial factor in reducing property investment risk. "The combination of a continuously growing area, targeted commercial products, and a strong supporting ecosystem are the main foundations for building investor confidence in Savasa," said Inagaki.

Dedi Mulyadi Reveals Strategic Plan to Build West Java Economy Post-Eid, Encourages Accelerated Investment

STRATEGINEWS.id, Jakarta – West Java Governor, Dedi Mulyadi, has shown a quick step or “step on the gas” in revealing a strategic plan to build the West Java economy after Lebaran 2025. Through his social media uploads, Dedi emphasized the importance of encouraging investment and accelerating the licensing process. “One is to encourage investment to run quickly. The licensing process should not be convoluted, I prove it today that I always provide advocacy,” said Dedi Dedi gave an example of the advocacy carried out in the construction process of the BYD company in Subang, which is expected to absorb between 16,000 and 18,000 workers. As a regional head who has a vision for the future of developing West Java, Dedi is committed to resolving issues related to land acquisition in the Subang industrial area which is hampered by brokering practices "There are only a few issues such as land acquisition in the industrial area in Subang which is still hampered by brokering practices, people enjoy huge profits from land brokering. I will handle and complete that in April," he said. In addition to investment, Dedi also emphasized the importance of post-Eid infrastructure development, which includes roads, irrigation, schools, electricity networks for the poor, and houses for the poor. The total funds needed for this development are estimated to be more than IDR 5 trillion. "This development will certainly have an impact on increasing opportunities for people to work, especially informal sector workers who dominate the economic management system in West Java," he explained. Regarding the recruitment of workers in West Java, Dedi encouraged an online-based job application system so that there would be no more queues of job applicants. According to him, companies that need workers can directly access the job fair prepared by the West Java Provincial Government. "Later, those who have the skills will be called. Then after being accepted, they will take care of the requirements, not taking care of the application requirements that may not be accepted. So that everything will run smoothly," he added. Dedi reminded the importance of creating a conducive environment for entrepreneurs by reducing interference from officials, mass organizations, NGOs, or thugs. To attract investment, he is also committed to providing various investment relief so that investors feel appreciated when investing in West Java. "Because they provide jobs," he said. Take firm action in various sectors Dedi Mulyadi, who was inaugurated on February 20, 2025, immediately took firm action in various sectors. One of his focuses is budget efficiency, such as cutting West Java's APBD spending by IDR 6 trillion the day after his inauguration. The funds from this efficiency were diverted to more useful programs, such as the construction of high school classrooms, the budget for which was increased from IDR 60 billion to IDR 1.2 trillion. This step shows his commitment to strengthening basic infrastructure, which is an important foundation for economic growth. Some of the initial policies and visions that he has conveyed provide an overview of the direction that will be taken to drive the West Java economy. In addition, Dedi emphasized the importance of the agricultural sector as the backbone of the West Java economy. He once expressed his desire for farmers to get decent profits, by encouraging Bulog to buy grain directly from farmers at an ideal price, around IDR 900 thousand per quintal, and building standard warehouses to maintain the quality of rice. After Eid, which is usually a transition period after a long holiday, Dedi seems to be taking advantage of this momentum to strengthen food security and support the productivity of the agricultural sector, which is crucial for the local economy. In terms of spatial planning and environment, Dedi also plans to reorganize areas such as Puncak Bogor to prevent disasters and support sustainable tourism. Policies such as giving public transportation on the Puncak route a holiday during the Eid holiday and evaluating tourism projects such as Eiger Camp show his concern for traffic management and ecosystem preservation, which indirectly impacts investment attractiveness and the regional economy. With the "step on the gas" approach that he has shown since he took office, he is trying to make West Java the locomotive of the Indonesian economy, in line with the support that was conveyed by local entrepreneurs such as TB Nasrul Ibnu HR in September 2024. The next concrete steps are expected to be clearer after he holds a strategic meeting with the ranks of the West Java Provincial Government and his advisors, such as Ignasius Jonan and Susi Pudjiastuti, whom he has collaborated with to accelerate development.
