When we review re trade route map Srivijaya empire, then we combine the Sumatran maps, in addition, with maps Jambi province, it would seem that the sea area of Jambi province holds an important role in the world economy maritime lines.

In the face of the development of the new world order, including the new world system of interconnected economy, where trade between countries can no longer be limited by the import or export tariff (Non-Tariff Trade Barrier),

Government policy in protecting plant and animal resources have been provided for in Law Nu. 16 of 1992, Law Nu. 18 of 2009 and Government Regulation Nu.82 of 2000.

Kuala Tungkal
 
Kuala Tungkal is a small town, a town that is a landline not a strategic city. At Capital West Tanjung Jabung this landline stops and replaced by maritime lines. In the other side, another landline has been started. Goods coming from abroad or Batam, will be distributed starts from this city. The city experienced a golden age, when the sea port of Kuala Tungkal still open to any export / import for all commodities. However, after a rise of 3 Ministers decree on the prohibition of some commodities to enter and exit through this port, fast motion a little slack economy, is limited to commodities that are not allowed. Up to now, agricultural commodities continues to chart a stable course, with a little part of the graph that rises looming, much higher than in other months.

Kota ini bernuansa agamis, Islami tepatnya. Berbasis pada satu Pondok Pesantren,  Kuala Tungkal menunjukkan kharakteristiknya. Banyak surau, banyak kegiatan kegiatan Islami. Saat memasuki waktu shalat, satu persatu surau menghentak dengan suara adzan, menimbulkan suasana syahdu. Satu hal yang penulis ingat, dan rasanya akan terus penulis ingat seumur hidup, adlah pada saat jam 5 sore hampir semua toko dan pasar tutup, baru kemudian buka lagi pada jam 7 malam, setelah selesai melaksanakan Ibadah Sholat Maghrib dan Isya’. Sungguh suatu nuansa yang berbeda dengan kota lain yang penulis pernah jumpai.


Yore, before the consolidation of the two quarantine organisation, which is Animal Quarantine and Plant Quarantine, standing 2 post quarantine, namely Animal and Plant Quarantine. But after unification and the establishment of the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries, Kuala Tungkal still have
two quarantine organisation. Unlike the previous, present quarantine organisation is Working Area Kuala Tungkal Seaport which is the length of the hand from Jambi's Agricultural Quarantine Services and Fisheries Quarantine.



Along with the passage of time, aware of the importance of Kuala Tungkal Seaport , we, as the length of the hand of Agriculture Quarantine Services continued improvement. Creativity in improvise to perform tasks and Quarantine functions still have to be done. Quarantine fixed procedure called "Delapan P" is our red line to work.
