Over the years, Peruvians have made a great effort to
get the best out of the sea for our consumption and to export to other
countries around the world, and thus to be able to generate profits. If we want
to continue in this good path and improve, we must begin to see how our
expenses can allow us to be competitive. For instance, fuel is an important
expense that is incurred when extracting the resource. Compared to other
countries, we have a high cost, which does not allow us to be more profitable
in each fishing season.
Another important point is the promotion of the
industry such as aquaculture and the promotion of the tuna industry. The
extraction of tuna generates, in foreign currency, over one billion dollars. If
we manage to make it grow, it could triple the jobs that are already important
today. A promotion of aquaculture would bring with it many incentives for its
development, key rules for proper training, would promote employment and food
security in the country.
Finally, it is important to point out that these
reforms would not be of much help without the willingness of the sector. In
Hayduk Corporation, as part of the National Fisheries Society, we support each
one of them. ¡Together we can!
