Peru
The new quota for the north was established at 2,786,000 t, volume greater than expected and the largest in years. Fishing began auspiciously, averaging about 40,000 tonnes per day. The situation indicates that there will be pressure from buyers for lower prices for the approximately 630,000 tonnes that would be produced, of which between 250,000 and 300,000 could have already been negotiated.
