# Fishermen ask Congress for AFP pension withdrawal over El Niño

> The fishers' union SUPNEP sent a letter to Peru's Congress Economy Committee requesting that members be allowed to withdraw up to 4 UIT from their AFP pension funds, citing El Niño's impact on fishing. The proposal is still a draft, has not been debated, and the Economy Ministry has already opposed it.

## Why it matters

The proposal is a pension-policy request and does not change fishing capacity or fishmeal output. Any El Niño-related catch losses would still drive feed prices more than this measure.
