The Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food, Enrique Martínez y Martínez, said the investment by several companies into the tuna sector of 2,275 million pesos allowed for the acquisition of a fleet that will add to the productive activities of the country and account for about 10,000 jobs, directly and indirectly.
