Indonesian Swiftlet Nests Exports in Pictures
INDONESIA merupakan pemasok sarang burung walet terbesar di dunia dengan produksi rata-rata lebih dari 100 ton per tahun atau 80% dari produksi dunia melampaui Thailand, Vietnam, Singapura, Myanmar, Malaysia, India dan Srilanka.
"China sangat hati-hati mengeluarkan ijin ekspor langsung sarang walet dari Indonesia, dengan ketentuan utama kandungan nitrit di bawah 30 ppm," kata Kepala Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Surabaya, Eliza Suryati Rusli di Surabaya pada Senin (12/10).
Menurutnya, pemerintah melalui Barantan mendukung pemenuhan persyaratan rumah walet dan rumah produksi sarang walet untuk mendapat registrasi, sehingga AQCIQ lebih mudah melakukan penelusuran riwayat sarang walet.
"Barantan terus mendorong rumah walet dan eksportir untuk memenuhi ketentuan China, tapi kalau lebih nyaman mengekspor ke pasar gelap, ya kami tidak bisa menghalangi untuk masuk ke Hong Kong, yang harganya jualnya jauh di bawah China," kata Eliza. (Foto2: B2B/Mac)
