Seeing the threat posed by the flooding of imported fruits in traditional and supermarkets in the island, the Bali provincial government is set to propose a bylaw that will protect the sale and consumption of the local fruits of the island.
The bylaw, which is supposed to protect the sales and cultivation of local fruits, is backed up by declared Governor Made Mangku Pastika.
“We encourage the participation of all stakeholders on the island, including hotel managements, restaurant owners, supermarket managements and the people, as well encouraging them to adopt the regulations stipulated in the proposed by-law,” said the governor.
The by-law will tackle several areas that relate to the sale and consumption of local fruits and it will also require tourist and hospitality industries, including the Bali villas and villas in Bali for rent, to serve local fruits to their guests instead of using only the imported ones.
The positive effects of the said proposed by-law will also be beneficial to the farmers and fruit raisers in alleviating poverty and raising their living conditions.
The attention of the provincial government was caught by the data from the Bali Agriculture Office which shows that while the harvest of Bali’s local fruits reached 244.5 million kilograms in 2011, the consumption of these only reached a very meager 48.9 million kilograms. This leaves 194.4 million kilograms of fruits that were not consumed.
“It has been a great challenge for us to think about optimizing our surplus fruit harvests. The planned bylaw is expected to regulate the trade of these fruits. Our local fruits are delicious and vary in type. Many tourists are actually more interested in tasting tropical fruit while they are on holiday here," said Pastika.
Therefore, Bali villas and villas in Bali for rent play a very crucial role in the promotion and preservation of these local fruits in the island.
