"There is a pond Embankment and 1.4 million acres. About the certification there are 80 percent yet, "says the CTF Office in Jakarta 's, Tuesday (17/8/2012).

The CTF began partnering with BPN periodically in the form of logging for the granting of land certificates. "We have a target from year to year will register the aquaculture in particular," he added.

CTF target until 2014 could complete the certification to the farmer and farm ponds up to 47,000 certificate. The expectation, the farmers can access the certificate after acquiring the capital with ease.

"There is a problem of our land still collateral certificates much less so with the cooperation of BPN to the certification process to guarantee," close Slamet.
