Empowering Coastal Women: A Success Story in Fish Processing

Transforming Lives through Entrepreneurship

In a heartwarming tale of empowerment and entrepreneurship, two women from Maluku Tenggara and Papua Barat have made significant strides in building a successful business centered around fish processing. Sri Fany Mony, once a homemaker without any economic ventures, now leads a productive group that has become a beacon of hope for coastal women empowerment.

The Dullah Tama Group's Achievements

The Dullah Tama group, under Fany's leadership as Chair of the Processing and Marketing Group (Poklahsar), has achieved remarkable success. In 2025, the group recorded a revenue of Rp 44.1 million, marking a substantial 16% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is a testament to the group's hard work and dedication to producing high-quality fish processed products and ecoprint.

Impact on Local Economy and Community

The success of the Dullah Tama group has not only transformed the lives of its members but also had a positive impact on the local economy. By actively sharing their best practices at both national and international levels, the group has become a role model for other coastal communities. The empowerment of women in these regions has led to a more balanced and inclusive economic development.

Government Support and Recognition

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has taken note of the Dullah Tama group's achievements, highlighting their success story as an example of effective empowerment of coastal women. This recognition underscores the importance of government support in fostering such initiatives and promoting sustainable economic growth in coastal regions.
