Manufacturing Industry
may 2026 

In May, manufacturing GDP contracted by 10.7% year-on-year, driven primarily by the decline in primary manufacturing (-41.7%), reflecting lower industrial fishing activity associated with the El Niño phenomenon. However, this contraction was partially offset by the growth of non-primary manufacturing (+5.4%), supported by stronger domestic demand.

01

Fishing Sector
may 2026

In May, total fish landings amounted to 175.2 thousand metric tons (MT), representing an 88.4% year-on-year decline. This result was primarily driven by a 97.6% decrease in anchovy landings for Indirect Human Consumption (IHC), as well as a 21.0% reduction in landings destined for Direct Human Consumption (DHC).

Aquaculture
may 2026

In May, aquaculture harvest reached 6,543 metric tons (MT), representing an 11.2% year-over-year decline compared with 7,371 MT in the same month of the previous year. This result was primarily driven by a decrease in the harvest of scallops (-48.9%) and trout (-21.2%).
