The fishing and aquaculture sector is suffering a major crisis due to the fall in demand for its products due to the consequences of COVID-19. Faced with this situation, in April, the federal government announced that it would advance the Bienesca subsidy. This grant consists of a transfer of $7,200 per fisherman or aquaculturist. According to Conapesca statements, $1,391.7 million pesos will be dispersed under this subsidy 1.
It is important to mention that the approved budget of this unit for subsidies and grants is $1,465 million pesos 2. Therefore, it is possible that this year other types of subsidies will not be granted to fishing and aquaculture, such as fuel, modernization of vessels and fisheries and aquaculture management.
