ARGENTINE FISH PROCESSORS 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.
