The Coclesano region of Panama is home to some of the most productive aquaculture farms in the world. Arap y Cobre Panama, a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals, is supporting these farmers by investing in their operations and helping them to produce a larger, higher quality harvest.
The Coclesano region is known for its abundance of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic species. However, the local aquaculture industry is often hampered by a lack of resources and support. Arap y Cobre Panama is working to change that.
The company is investing in the local aquaculture industry with the goal of increasing the quantity and quality of the harvest. This includes providing access to the latest technology, training, and resources to the farmers. Arap y Cobre Panama is also working with the local government to create a more supportive environment for the industry.
The investment is already paying off. The farmers are now able to produce a larger harvest than ever before. The quality of the fish and shellfish has also improved, and the local government has seen an increase in tax revenue as a result.
The harvest is being used for both local consumption and commercialization. This is helping to create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the Coclesano region.
The partnership between Arap y Cobre Panama and the Coclesano aquaculture industry is a great example of how First Quantum Minerals is committed to supporting sustainable development in Panama. The company is investing in the local economy, providing training and resources to the farmers, and creating a more supportive environment for the industry.
The success of this partnership is a testament to the importance of investing in sustainable development. It is also a reminder of how First Quantum Minerals is committed to making a positive impact in the region.
The partnership between Arap y Cobre Panama and the Coclesano aquaculture farmers is an encouraging example of how the mining industry can support sustainable development. With the right investments and support, aquaculture can be a major driver of economic growth and development in Panama.
