Added to these are specific proposals to diversify markets, value commuter production, advance digitalization and the use of new technologies and the circular economy in canneries, reinforce job attractiveness and guarantee generational change, in other aspects.

He also highlighted the support promoted by the Xunta for the seafood processing sector -in which canned food is included- and specified that from 2022 135 million euros will be made available, both with funds from the current FEMP how with those of the new European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (Fempa).
A bet, stressed the general director, which seeks to correspond to the potential of the Galician canning industry, which accounts for around 85% of Spanish production, invoices 2,500 million euros and generates 12,000 jobs. He also stressed that seven out of every ten kilos of preserves exported to Spain come from Galicia.
