On January 15, 2022, the Repsol oil company contaminated the Peruvian sea, mainly affecting the district of Ventanilla, extending to Ancón, Lima and Callao. Additionally, artisanal fishermen were also victims of the oil spill, so the Peruvian government created the Fisherman Bonus 2023. Do you want more details? In this article, we will tell you.
The economic subsidy amounts to 500 soles and aims to benefit more than 36,000 workers who earn their daily sustenance by fishing. The Minister of Production, Raúl Pérez Reyes, informed that monitoring work is being carried out in the affected areas by the National Organization for Fisheries Health (Sanipes) and the Institute of the Sea of Peru (Imarpe).
Who will receive the artisanal fisherman bonus in 2023?
- Must formally engage in artisanal fishing activity.
- Must be included in the Registry of Beneficiaries of artisanal fishermen.
- Must not be affiliated with other social programs or economic subsidies.
When can the 500 soles bonus be collected?
The Peruvian state has a period of 30 calendar days to start paying this bonus. According to Emergency Decree No. 004-2023, the deadline for collection would be until April 30.
How and where can the fisherman bonus be collected?
The delivery of the official artisanal fisherman bonus, established by the government of President Dina Boluarte, will be made through the branches of the Banco de la Nación, as well as other financial institutions nationwide, as stated in the Decree.
"The Banco de la Nación or other financial entities will prioritize the attention of beneficiaries through alternative channels to their offices, which will be available to carry out any banking operation with the subsidy granted, without charging commissions or fees," it is detailed.
Is there an official consultation LINK?
There is currently no official consultation website, as the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (RENIEC) must present the data from the Registry of Beneficiaries of artisanal fishermen. After that, the official LINK will likely be shared.
