DocumentOther documentFeasibility study for fisheries development project in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate, Arab Republic of Egypt 1981
Also available in:
No results found.As part fulfillment of the objectives of the UNDP/FAO project for development of fisheries in areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (RAB/77/008), the project is to identify and prepare economic and investment-oriented studies through the formulation of several feasibility studies aiming at development and modernisation of fisheries in the participating countries, of which the Arab Republic of Egypt is a member. In this context a technical and economic feasibility study is prepared to develop the activities of the already existing Fish Wealth Development Project in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate. The study deals with the optimum utilization of the assets of the liquidated Southern Fisheries Company (currently the assets are being employed as a fish production unit by the Red Sea Governorate under the name Project for development of Fish Wealth in Hurghada), and the expansion by adding new fishing units and some necessary and vital shore facilities to develop productive, servicing and mar keting activities. To this effect a project complete with economic and financial analysis and evaluation has been prepared. -
DocumentOther documentAn economic feasibility study of a trawl fishery in the Gulf lying between Iran and the Arabian peninsula 1972
Also available in:
No results found.While accurate statistical data on the depth of the demersal resources of the Gulf are scant, there is sufficient information available to justify investment in an integrated trawl fishery in some of the Gulf states. Because of the enclosed nature of the Gulf, and the fact that the coastline is divided among eight states, some of which, as a matter of national health interest, might profitably introduce fish as a dietary supplement for their people, while others are largely interested in export- market development, no single scheme can be evolved as a module for general application. However, identification of investment prospects in the United Arab Emirates and Iran should not be taken to imply that possibilities do not exist in other states. Uncertainties regarding the continuing availability, as such, of the presently defined international fishing waters (non-territorial) is a major constraint to formulation of bankable investment proposals in those states with minimal coastal frontag e. Logistical problems, including provision of port facilities, and the marketing of the potential catch present greater obstacles to development within the region than does the actual capture of fish. There is a bankable investment opportunity for a phased, first-stage, integrated trawl fishery, based on the United Arab Emirates, to operate in the territorial and adjacent waters of the Union, within the Gulf and in the Sea of Oman. There are also possibilities for extending the shore installati ons for such a scheme to cater for longer-range trawling, with medium-range freezer trawlers, in the international waters of the Gulf and the northwestern sector of the Indian Ocean. Such an extension would lend itself to promotion by joint venture between local commercial interests and an expatriate company experienced in operating such vessels. The feasibility of marketing demersal fish in Iran has been on a first-stage, integrated trawl-fishery project, provided that berthage and land can be made available at the new port of Bandar Abbas. In countries where shrimp are available, the attraction of this resource in export cash potential has acted as a constraint to trawl-fishery development, and will continue to do so unless these countries clearly establish separate zones of permitted operation for each, or completely integrate the two fisheries. Local sales of fish cannot be greatly increased in any Gulf state without carefully coordinated efforts in education of the inland populati on to accepting fish as a diet component and in development of a distribution and marketing system. Where are available to a demersal trawl fishery, good quantities of premium, first category fish such as red snapper, red mullet, grouper, and sole, which are universally known and of proved export value as well as many lesser known and unknown varieties which are worthy of promotional marketing efforts. There is an urgent need for the Gulf States to formulate, and consider means of administering, a common policy on the rational use of and protection of the resources of the Gulf in the best interests of the peoples who surround it. -
DocumentOther documentPrefeasibility study for a shark and fish utilization enterprise in Quseir area, Egypt 1983
Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries development mainly lies in the possibilities of identifying new investment opportunities in the fisheries sector. Thus, the development of fisheries along the Egyptian Red Sea Coast could only be achieved and maintained through integrated development/investment oriented projects. Preparing pre-feasibility and feasibility studies on such investments opportunities is one of the main objectives for the Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (RAB/81/0 02). This report is one of these studies. The report includes four main sections: technical background; fishing enterprise; shark and fish processing enterprise; financial and economic evaluation.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
