DocumentOther documentA report on the building up of a statistical system for the collection of marine fisheries statistics in the United Arab Emirates 1975
Also available in:
No results found.The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Government of the United Arab Emirates is deeply involved with the development of marine fisheries in the country and to develop a statistical system which will produce appropriate statistics to measure the growth of development taking place. The types of statistics necessary for such purpose are enumerated by considering each of the three phases of the fishing industry which are: catching fish; processing, curing and preservation; marketing and d istribution. Appropriate methods for collecting data for the estimation of these statistics are also discussed. The requirements of minimum staff are also indicated. -

an expanded plan of development

No results found.The paper evaluates the existing status of fisheries statistics in PDRY and describes the type of fishery data that are needed for economic evaluation of fisheries and biological/stock assessment studies. A phased plan of development of an adequate statistical system extending over a period of three years is proposed. The system is based on regional concepts and uniform definitions of statistical items to facilitate inter and intra country comparability of the collected fishery data. The methods of collection of data are furnished in details; the facility requirement by way of man-power and equipment is examined. The cost estimate for running the three year programme is worked out and the potential benefits are indicated. -

No results found.The proportional weight of fisheries in the national economies of the Indian Ocean countries varies considerably but, in general, fisheries are not a major sector of the economy. The recorded catch volumes from the Indian Ocean increased at a rate of about 6% annually between 1964 and 1968, but 21% of the absolute increase was attributable to non-Indian Ocean countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan, U.S.S.R. and 39% of the remainder to one country, Thailand. Recorded catches from several countries have been declining. Estimates are presented of average unit values of landings, exports and imports by country, and for some species and products. Typically, most of the catch reaches the consumer in “fresh” conditions. Preservation is limited to sun-drying, or curing with salt or smoke. Freezing or refrigeration is rare, except for products destined for export. Canning and reduction are also uncommon. The modal fishing enterprise is a single-family ownership in which fishing is the principal occupa tion; it employs one or more small vessels of local design and local materials, without mechanical power. Labour other than the owner's immediate family is compensated on a share basis. The catch is typically sold to a “middleman”, who supplies working credit as well as marketing services. Other patterns, however, are significant. Recent fisheries development seems to have been mainly extensive, resulting from an increase in fishermen and vessels. Per vessel product has been constant or declined in most countries.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
