According to the Federation of the Chilean Industry (Sofofa), this increased salmon production was one of the main factors that positively impacted on the local industrial production results, which experienced a 2.9% increase in November compared to the same month of 2009.

However, the industrial production indexes are still 5.1% below the highest results prior to the economic crisis, registered in March 2008.

Sofofa expected that this year the industrial production will be between -0.5% and 0%, while they expect a significant recovery in 2011, between 5% and 6%.
