Petros Aquaculture Operations is developing Aruba's first sustainable open-ocean fish farm, marking an important step toward economic diversification for the island. The project focuses on growing Red Snapper (Lutjanus Campechanus), a premium fish species that naturally inhabits the waters of Aruba.

Monday Meeting Aruba Fair Trade Authority (AFTA)

Dec. 01, 2025 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Aruba Fair Trade Authority: Dhr. Ernesto Kross, Directeur

The Aruba Fair Trade Authority (AFTA) is the independent competition authority of Aruba. It is a zelfstandig bestuursorgaan met rechtspersoonlijkheid—an independent administrative body with legal personality—meaning it performs its statutory duties independently of the government. AFTA was established alongside the introduction of Aruba’s Competition Ordinance (Mededingingsverordening, Official Bulletin 2020 No. 103). This law came fully into effect on 1 January 2024, marking the moment AFTA became fully operational.
