However, the president of the union, Julio Pérez, stated that there is concern about the decline in five sectors, including textiles, fishing for direct human consumption, non-metallic mining, wood, and hydrocarbons.
“There are four (sectors) with added value that have not yet recovered, that is, the most intensive in labor. This result tells us that we must influence joint work with the public sector in order to promote private investment, identify and support new engines that add to the recovery of Peru and reach more markets,” he explained.
