The aquaculture industry’s debt amounts to around $2.5 billion (€1.9 billion), and Chilean banks are seeking greater safeguards and more information about the problems of companies due to the financial and sanitary crisis, El Mercurio reported..
This is in a scenario in which the forecast is industry sales will drop by at least 30 percent next year.
Based on this, the banks will ask the economist Jorge Quiroz, who has already worked before as an advisor for the salmon industry and who has close ties with the banks, to analyze the feasibility of providing financial support to the aquaculture industry.
