REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PALANGKA RAYA -- Central Kalimantan's Governor Agustin Teras Narang and Indonesian Ambassador to Brazil Sudaryomo Hartosudarmo are visiting the State of Acre, Brazil, to observe the fisheries and public housing development programs.

The governor's visit was on the sidelines of an invitation to be a guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Governors' Climate and Forests (GCF) Task Force in Rio Branco, on August 11-14, 2014, Governor Narang stated during a telephonic conversation here on Wednesday (August 13).

"My visit to the laboratory of freshwater aquaculture development in Rio Branco, which has an area of 60 hectares, has inspired me to build a similar one in Central Kalimantan," the governor noted.

According to Narang, the laboratory comprises a nursery building, fish breeding ponds, and fish feed mill. The fish species being bred are from the Amazon River and have high economic value.
