Those who wish to know the price of products of aquaculture and fisheries may do so through the new digital platform of the Costa Rican Institute of Fisheries and Aquaculture (INCOPESCA) and the Integral Program of Agricultural Marketing (PIMA).
This platform will be available at the following address: www.pima.go.cr/incopesca
The computer system offers a price bulletin with the main products that are marketed in La Cruz, Cuajiniquil, Nicoya, Puntarenas, Quepos, Golfito, and Limón check points, as well as at the National Food Supply and Distribution Center (CENADA), and even the municipal markets and supermarkets of the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM).
The Market Information System for Fishery and Aquaculture Products (SIMPA) will allow the user to access the web page, check prices and even perform smart searches according to the interest, such as product type or position. In addition you can download the data in PDF format. If you want to know how it works you can enter the following link: https://youtu.be/kkn6NaI73zk
Gustavo Meneses, executive president of INCOPESCA, said that with this system the information will be significantly consolidated and will be a very important input for all users, and he assured that this project will strengthen fishing associations, cooperatives and organizations, which will be able to obtain first-hand information to strengthen their fishing activity.
