Patagonia is situated at the southernmost tip of Chile, and the Chileans intend to initiate a grand-scale investment project in the region that involves aquaculture industry, tourism and infrastructure.

A company was established for this, the Patagonian Investment Fund.“We’ll be getting in touch with you all,” Puchi told a large audience made up largely of leaders from the international seafood industry on the first day of the Aqua Vision conference in Stavanger, Norway.

”Farming of salmon creates wealth for all, and that now, due to several good years and subsequent robust balance in the accounts, is the time to put the money to work,” Puchi said.
