Cayetana Aljovin presented his resignation to the presidency of the National Fisheries Society (SNP), despite the fact that his term in office ended in 2025. In his replacement, the former Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism Eduardo Ferreyros Kuppers enters, who will assume the position next Saturday July 15.
The relief comes in a complicated context for the sector, because the Ministry of Production (Production) canceled the start of the first anchovy fishing season due to the high concentration of juveniles.
However, the SNP clarified to The Republic that the departure of Aljovín Gazzani responds to reasons unrelated to the cancellation of the seasona decision that particularly affects the country’s flour industry.

SNP and the anchovy season
The SNPs still believes that a first anchovy fishing season could open, at least a short one. Produce has rejected this initiative and has indicated that it could be re-evaluated if weather conditions change.
This depends on the fact that the new investigations —to be carried out by the Institute of the Sea of Peru (Imarpe) in the coming weeks— indicate that it is viable, without harming the availability of this resource for the following seasons.
During the exploratory fishing from June 3 to 7, 40,000 MT of anchovy was obtained, of which, between 50% and 60%, were juveniles, according to the SNP. although the Imarpe report indicates that the incidence was greater than 80%.
Taking these results into account, Produce pointed out that the second fishing season could also be at risk, so a tough year awaits the sector, which according to the Central Reserve Bank (BCRP), will fall 15% this year.
