The Peruvian Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) has announced the start of the second anchovy fishing season in the North-Center region, set to begin on November 1, 2024.
The quota for the season has been set at 2.51 million tons, marking an increase from the previous two seasons—2.283 million tons in 2022 and 1.682 million tons in 2023.
Minister of Production Sergio Gonzalez Guerrero highlighted the economic impact of the season.
“In economic terms, it will generate more than $1.3 billion in foreign currency, with anchovies as a commodity for indirect human consumption, driving one of the country’s most productive and efficient industries: fishmeal and fish oil,” he stated.
