No results found.This paper presents reports of studies on commercial aquaculture which were commissioned in Côte d'Ivoire, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia in Africa, and Costa Rica and Honduras by the FAO Fishery Development Planning Service. It also includes a summary which discusses the main points of each original report. For commercial aquaculture to develop in the region, major interventions priorities would be required in the area of: (1) Credit: adapted credit lines should be developed for aq uaculture. To achieve this, banks need to be convinced of the profitability of commercial aquaculture; (2) Enabling economic environment: changes in government policies are needed to help develop commercial fish farming, especially through tax incentives, import facilities and better permit handling; (3) Feed supplies: the technology for fish feed production based mainly on local products needs to be codified in practical form to provide for the development of a proper fish feed industry. -

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. -
