As a consequence of the strike of cargo transport drivers, the salmon industry in the region de Los Lagos was affected, due to the loss of quality of frozen salmon that could not be distributed.
The national strike of truck drivers is affecting the salmon industry in the Los Lagos region.
It should be noted that the salmon industry is the main one in the region.
The affectation corresponds to the fact that the frozen product in the trucks without its prompt distribution loses quality. This was confirmed by the Salmon Council in conversation with Radio Bío Bío.
For this reason, the industry made the decision not to harvest the fish during this Friday, in order to avoid the situation mentioned.
According to information delivered by La Radio, the supply of inputs could also be affected, as the mobilization of truck drivers spreads.
Let’s remember that the mobilization of truck drivers began this Monday, who are demanding greater safety on the roads, complementary insurance and a 35% reduction in fuel prices.
