ARGENTINE
SHIPOWNER DEEP SEA FISHERS ASSOCIATION
The
High Seas Fishing Boats and Fish Processing Chamber include the
most important Integrated Fishing Firms, which are those counting with
their own High
Seas
Fishing Boat Fleet, and that manufacture in their own plants the raw material
caught by their fishing boats, obtaining thereby the highest yield and
giving the maximum added value to the raw material. They also commercialize
all their own production. These firms, with investments higher than 350,000,000,
get U$S 250,000,000 annually, of which U$S 200,000,000 correspond to foreign
trade. They also supply daily with fresh fish the cities of Buenos Aires,
Rosario, Còrdoba, Mendoza, and Tucumàn among others, and
occupy directly or indirectly more than 40,000 workers.
