The president of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Committee of the National Society of Industries, Alfonso Miranda, reported that his union expressed to the new Minister of Production, Sergio González Guerrero, his concern about the Chinese fleet that operates near the Peruvian sea.
“We have had an interview as a Committee with the Minister and we have explained to him the entire pending agenda and fundamental issues that are not many, but are vital for this activity,”he expressed in statements to Conexión Perú, from RCR.
Miranda explained that they mentioned to the minister the presence of the Chinese fleet that, according to artisanal fishermen, invades the Peruvian sea. “There are mechanisms that Peru should exercise to prevent this from continuing to happen, such as Peru's presence in international fisheries management organizations,”he said.
Another of the topics addressed in the meeting with the minister was artisanal fishing, which needs special attention since it is the main supplier to the industry and therefore requires it to be formalized and strengthened.
“We need orderly artisanal fishing that allows us to guarantee the sustainability and continuity of fishing activity,”said Miranda, noting that oversizing the fleet must be avoided.
Alfonso Miranda indicated that they also expressed to Minister Sergio González the need to accelerate procedures in the fishing sector. He noted that the businessmen's concerns were taken carefully by the minister and he expects a response in the coming weeks.
Fishing sector generates a million jobs
The president of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Committee of the National Society of Industries, Alfonso Miranda, said that a series of measures are necessary to put into operation part of the industrial processing capacity that is currently stopped.
Miranda indicated that a decision could be the approval of a rapid procedure for raw materials to enter without extra cost, so that the industry is competitive since other countries in the region compete for the processing service.
The representative of the fishing industry reported that the sector in general creates approximately one million jobs, of which 200,000 are direct.
He added that in the plants that process fish products for human consumption, more than 40% of the staff is female, so it is also an inclusive industry.
