The Committee for Fishing and Agriculture of Peru’s National Association of Industries (SNI) has formally requested competition regulator Indecopi that they be allowed to participate in the process against a number of shipping and maritime agencies, whose anticompetitive behaviour mainly affected the country’s exporters.
The SNI has requested a meeting with the authority, where they intend to relay the grave consequences for Peru’s economy should exporters suffer severe logistical cost increases in shipping due to a presumed collusion between service providers.
“We often face a series of public institutions that substantially increase our administrative costs and set obstacles for us”, said Alfonso Miranda Eyzaguirre, the Committee’s president. Likewise, he pointed towards the fishing idustry as one of the main victims of the alleged price-fixing, considering that most of the sector’s trade is shipped to Asian markets.
