ABSTRACT
Chile is the second largest producer of salmon in the world and is an important pillar of the national economy. Any disruption in how the industry functions will have economic and social effects. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Chilean salmon industry. An online survey was sent to the highest positions in the industry presidents, managers, and chiefs of salmon companies. Of the 52 respondents, 75% indicated that operations were moderately affected by the pandemic. More than 70% reported a decrease in their company's production and sales. Work absenteeism was a concern for 88%, and the implementation of sanitary measures was considered effective and relevant to prevent the spread of the virus. However, there were no statistically significant differences (p-value > 0.05) between the degree of impact on operations by company size, or between absenteeism and company size. The information obtained in this study is a first look into understanding the impacts of the pandemic on the Chilean salmon industry in the year 2020.
