Through Supreme Decree No. 007-2022-PRODUCE, more than 1,900 individuals will be able to access up to 90% discount and have liquidity to recover their activities.
 
The Ministry of Production (Produce) reported that Supreme Decree No. 007-2022-PRODUCE, which has an exceptional and temporary regime for the reduction of fines, focuses mainly on artisanal, smaller-scale fishermen, marketers and transporters.
 
According to Produce, the most important reduction of the regulations focuses on the first group whose fines do not exceed 50 UIT (90% discount scale), where 73% of those administered are natural persons.
 
The head of Produce, Jorge Prado Palomino, said that more than 1,900 people, including artisanal fishermen, smaller-scale fishermen, marketers and transporters, with fewer fines imposed and infractions, will benefit from this rule.
 
 
“More than 80% of natural persons in the first group have only 1 sanctioning directorial resolution and their infractions are not more serious. They refer mainly to the non-compliance or technical failures in the weighing equipment in processing plants, and to the transport, storage, commercialization of resources in sizes or weights other than those authorized”; he held.
 
As is known, the rule published weeks ago provided a reduction scale that reaches up to 90% in sanctions of up to 50 UIT; 70% for those of up to 200 UIT; and 50% for those over 200 UITs.

Productive revitalization
 
Prado Palomino detected that the first group represents the bulk of the production chain that remains in the fishing and aquaculture activity, so this benefit will boost the production chain with the generation of income, employment and food.

“The reduction of the fines may mean for the fishing agents to have greater liquidity and, therefore, recovery in the productive activity. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the employment generated by the artisanal fishing activity was affected and contracted 7% in 2020”, he specified.
 
In addition, he pointed out that the reduction of fines is focused on those coastal regions where more than 30.5% of the population is in a situation of monetary vulnerability, that is, at risk of falling into monetary poverty, including Ancash (40.2%) , Piura (35.6%), Ica (35.4%), Callao (31.4%), Moquegua (31.1%) and Lima (27.0%).
 
Prado Palomino highlighted that the measure considered that the level of poverty in coastal regions where fishing activity predominates has increased by 7.5 pp. in 2021 compared to the level reported during the pre-pandemic 2019 (15.0%).
 
In addition, it will generate administrative relief in terms of costs incurred by the administration considering that PRODUCE has a collection portfolio of overdue fines of around 27 years, he pointed out.
 
In the same way, he indicated that the natural persons who can benefit from the norm constitute the economic support of about 7,000 family members and carry out their operations in regions of greater fishing concentration such as Callao, Ancash and Piura.
