Tridge summary

The 2020 CIEN-ADEX report reveals a significant negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Peru's fishing and aquaculture sector, with a total of 35,105 job losses across the industry, marking a 17.8% decline in employment compared to the previous year. This downturn is largely attributed to a 19.6% decrease in fishing shipments for direct human consumption, amounting to US $1,279.1 million, and a 17.8% drop in aquaculture production. The most affected species in fishing were squid and parakeet, while shrimp and fan shells were the largest contributions to aquaculture, despite experiencing declines. Other aquaculture products such as trout, tilapia, and paiche saw varying levels of success. The report underscores the need for policy interventions and strategic measures to mitigate these losses and support the sector's recovery.
