Argentina: Arbeletche says the shrimp season will be extended by four months

Chubut's Secretary of Fisheries, Andrés Pedro Arbeletche, announced the successful launch of Chubut's shrimp fishing production chain on November beginning, marking the start of a four-month season following a ten-month conflict resolution between unions and chambers. This development, which permits fishing in the Northern Zone of provincial waters, was achieved after reaching satisfactory labor agreements and ensuring sustainable resource management. It marks a significant milestone in economic activity for the region, particularly around Rawson, despite ongoing economic challenges. The season's initial results are encouraging, showcasing a 90% increase in dollars for workers and a significant adjustment for entrepreneurs due to global market conditions and Argentine macroeconomic factors. The achievement underscores the importance of collaboration between unions, businesses, and the government in overcoming economic hurdles to secure employment and economic benefits for the community.
