DENPASAR: Bali's fish exports to European countries showed a significant increase from US$52 million in 2006 to $71.8 million in 2007 despite strict quality requirements set by the European Union.
"We have no problems with our fish exports because we have met the quality standards of those (European) countries," said Ni Wayan Kusumawathi, head of the foreign trade division at Bali's Industry and Trade Agency, as quoted by Antara on Thursday.
She said fish, especially fresh and frozen tuna, was one of Bali's main exports beside handicrafts.
She added that currently there were around 700 fishing ships operating out of Benoa seaport to supply markets in Japan, China, Taiwan and the United States
