According to official estimates, the investment will have a direct and indirect impact on the creation of thousands of jobs in sectors such as construction, industry, transportation, logistics, commerce, and services. In addition to the jobs linked to the new projects, the Government expects the multiplier effect to boost the development of small and medium-sized enterprises that are part of the supply chain.
Representatives from Coca-Cola and Arca Continental stated that Peru offers favorable conditions to continue expanding their operations due to macroeconomic stability, market growth potential, and the Government's commitment to promoting investments. The companies indicated that part of the resources will also be allocated to innovation programs, recycling, efficient water management, and worker training.
