Abstract
La pesca artesanal en el Perú fue uno de los sectores económicos con mayor
crecimiento durante el periodo 2000-2012. Sin embargo, este crecimiento no está
basado en la generación de un mayor valor agregado a lo largo de las cadenas de valor.
Uno de los recursos claves para la pesca artesanal es el perico, siendo de los productos
pesqueros peruanos de mayor exportación y el pez estacional que más abunda en los
meses de verano. Es a partir del año 2001, que empieza su auge con mayores capturas
en los años 2008 y 2015 con una captura anual promedio de 52 mil toneladas. No
obstante, la mayoría de esta pesca es informal pues estos pescadores no cuentan con
permisos de pesca afectando la trazabilidad de la cadena de valor del perico. Estos
pescadores no gozan de beneficios sociales, y dependen de los intermediarios. Por
ende, las cooperativas pesqueras aparecen como una alternativa para gestionar su
formalización lo que pueda contribuir a la pesca sostenible del recurso. Una buena
gobernanza establecida en base a un modelo cooperativo, se puede presentar como un
incentivo económico que garantice la pesca sostenible del perico. En las caletas de La
Islilla y La Tortuga de la provincia de Paita, Piura, existen dos cooperativas pesqueras
recientemente formadas mediante un programa piloto del gobierno. El objetivo de este
estudio es determinar si estas cooperativas son un modelo de incentivo de pesca
sostenible de perico. Para esto, se entrevistaron a 22 socios de la cooperativa de La
Tortuga, 23 socios de la cooperativa de La Islilla, 19 socios de la asociación APAMARPA
y 4 actores clave involucrados. Se encuentra que estas cooperativas tienen un déficit
organizacional sin un mercado justo, así como una desarticulación con los agentes de
gobierno. En conclusión, es necesario continuar el fortalecimiento de capacidades de
estas nuevas formas de gobernanza para una pesca sostenible del recurso.
Artisanal fishing in Peru was one of the economic sectors with the highest growth during the period 2000-2012. However, this growth is not based on the generation of greater added value along the value chains. One of the key resources for artisanal fishing is the Peruvian mahi mahi, being the Peruvian fishery product of greater export and the seasonal fish that is most abundant in summer. It is from 2001, which begins its boom with higher catches in 2008 and 2015 with an average annual catch of 52 thousand tons. Nevertheless, most of this fishing is informal because these fishermen do not have fishing permits or expired, affecting the traceability of the Peruvian mahi mahi value chain. These fishermen do not enjoy social benefits, and depend on intermediaries. Therefore, fishing cooperatives appear as a complementary alternative to manage the sustainable fishing of the resource. With good governance established in a cooperative model, it can be presented as an economic incentive that guarantees the sustainable fishing of the parakeet. In the coves of La Islilla and La Tortuga in the province of Paita, Piura, there are two fishing cooperatives recently formed through a government Pilot Program. The objective of this study was to determine if these cooperatives are an incentive model for sustainable parakeet fishing. For this, 22 members of the La Tortuga cooperative, 23 members of the La Islilla cooperative, 19 members of the APAMARPA association and 4 key stakeholders involved were interviewed. It is found that these cooperatives have an organizational deficit without a fair market, as well as a disarticulation with government agents. In conclusion, it is necessary to continue empowering these new way of governance for mahi-mahi sustainable fishing
