Synopsis (short abstract) The Agricultural Development Bank of Iran is becoming more and more involved in financing fishery industry development in the country. This involvement is either through joint ventures with Government organizations or with private capital and with the ADBI having equity participation in them, or providing credit to the fishery industry. In 1974 the World Bank approved a substantial loan for Iran for fishery development. This loan will also be channeled through the ADBI either to the end-borrower s or to the Southern Fisheries Company for redistribution to the artisanal fishermen. Both the present involvement of the ADBI in financing fishery industries development and the channeling of the World Bank's loan are new activities for the Bank. In order to perform its new functions, the ADBI wants to establish a fisheries development branch within its structure. The report analyses the new functions of the ADBI and defines the functions of the fisheries development branch to be formed. At the same time, due to a, lack of adequately experienced personnel, the Bank is thinking of employing a fishery development adviser who would assist also in the formation and operation of the branch during its first period of activity. The terms of reference of the consultant and also given in the report. One of the important problems to be resolved in the overall fisheries development of Iran is the balance between investment at sea and investment ashore. Therefore, the report contains a brief anal ysis of the fish processing capacities with particular reference to freezing and cold storing of fish ashore. Details regarding the investment, either existing or projected in the near future are given in the Annex to the report.

    Report of the joint mission to plan development of the Sardinella fisheries in the Bali Strait 1977
    Also available in:

    This report has been prepared by an FAO/IOP Mission to East Java, Indonesia, as a result of its investigation of the development prospects of the fisheries for Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) in the Bali Strait. The technical details of the present fishery are dealt with, including the economics of the various operations, landing facilities and marketing and processing arrangements. The fishery has expanded considerably in recent years through the introduction of a large number of purs e seiners, a development which, given the limited nature of resources, now threaten the traditional fisheries which provide a living for a large number of fishermen. The Mission recommends that no more purse seiners be brought in until investigation of the resource shows whether or not it can sustain heavier fishing. Detailed proposals for the technical improvement of the existing craft and gear are presented and recommendations made with respect to the development of the infrastructure and the improvement of marketing operations. Credit facilities and institutional changes needed to facilitate these improvements are recommended.

    Techno-economic feasibility study for fish smoking enterprise fisheries development project, Hurghada Red Sea Governorate 1982

    One of the objectives of the Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, is to conduct economic and investment research work and studies through the preparation of feasibility studies aiming at developing and modernizing fisheries industries in the participating countries of the project of which the Arab Republic of Egypt is a member. With this objective in mind a feasibility study (RAB/77/008/21) on the technical and economic aspects was prepared for upgrading and expanding the activities of the Fisheries Development Project in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate. The study centred on adding new fishing units and the establishment of some shore facilities needed for improving and activating productive, servicing and marketing operations. A comprehensive and integrated study was prepared for this purpose complete with financial and economic analysis and evaluation. In response, the Red Sea Governorate has taken some positive steps to implement sections of t he study. The purchase of refrigerated transport trucks, construction of 50 tons capacity cold stores in Hurghada and the ongoing construction of an ice plant of 20 ton/day capacity are among these positive steps. Complementary to these developmental steps, and as the Fisheries Development Project constitutes the basis of planned development, this study has been prepared on the feasibility of establishing a fish smoking unit in Hurghada.

    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.
