THE THEME OF THE SHRIMP FINALLY INFLUENCED what for Ecuador declared deadlock in the negotiations Free Trade with Mexico. The president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador stood firm in close the entry of shrimp and Ecuadorian bananas to Mexico, which discouraged his peer from Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, to sign a trade agreement. With this, the South American country loses the possibility of joining the Pacific alliancea strategic group made up of Colombia, Peru Y Chili. It also responds to the felt demand of the fishing sector to not to flood the national market with Ecuadorian shrimp.
WITH HOPE WELL PLACED, THE FISH FARMERS OF SINALOA They are working so that as of February 1, the sowing of larvae in shrimp farms begins. Despite the fact that the expectation is quite favorable, there are 25 percent of producers who will not be able to plant due to lack of credit capacity. According to Cesar Cuadras Lopezsecretary of the State Aquaculture Health Committee of sinaloaall is not lost because those farmers who are not going to harvest on their own, will rent the farms.
THE LEADER OF THE OWNERS IN TOPOLOBAMPO, Carlos Sotelo Monge, and its people agree on the certifications to reach more and better markets with good prices, but right now the priority is not that. What they would like is to capture more shrimp so that the fishing activity is profitable in this season that is turning out for trawling. So much so that they even want to sell the shrimp fleet, as Sotelo Monge He expressed it days ago.
HUNDREDS OF FISHERMEN FROM THE PACIFIC FLEET became unemployed and many others will suffer misfortune once they return from the high seas, since there are no conditions to schedule another departure. The low production and the increase in the cost of marine diesel and inputs forced the boats to leave on at least one occasion and then moor. The leader of the Union of Shipowners, Omar Lizarragasaid that they would be on the last trip, and regretted that of the about a thousand ships in the Pacific fleet only about 100 are catching.
AWARE THAT ORGANIZED CRIME has been immersed in the fishing activity for some time, since they transport drugs and participate in the actions of that sector, senator Raul Elenes Angulo He asserted that mechanisms will be sought so that a single authority is empowered to address this problem. The morenista recognized that currently the inspectors do not have the authority to solve this, so they only apply administrative sanctions, but what is involved is a fishing recertification so that the cooperatives do not end up working for third parties.
