Forest and aquaculture sectors have become the new first engines for economic growth to pick up in the medium term.
Therefore, the Ministry of Production (Produce) and the private business are boosting both spheres, the head of the portfolio Piero Ghezzi affirmed.
A year has passed since the National Plan for Productive Diversification (PNDP) became effective. In this framework, Ghezzi announced both engines will “be joined” by the creative industries and the textile sector.
Likewise, the information technology (IT) branch will be invigorated, since it has an enormous potential for the economic take-off.
During a press conference, the head of the portfolio addressed the upcoming construction of 25 new Technological Innovation Centers (CITE) set to start in October. They will lead to developing clusters and regional production chains, he said.
Next year, five Industrial States will enter the construction phase, as well. One will be based in Lima (Ancon) and the remaining in other cities of the country.
