Book (series)Technical reportTechnical Consultation on Improving Information on the Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries / Consultation technique sur l'amélioration de l'information concernant la situation et les tendances des pêches de capture / Consulta técnica sobre la introducción de las mejoras en la información acerca de la situación y las tendencias de la pesca de captura 2002The Technical Consultation on Improving Information on the Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries (Rome, Italy, 25-28 March 2002) considered the issue in terms of general perspectives, the required actions and mechanisms for promotion and implementation, the nature of the instrument to be used and consideration of a proposal for a Strategy. The Technical Consultation expressed the view that the issue of improving information on the status and trends of capture fisheries should have a high priori ty with regard to implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. It agreed that a Strategy is an appropriate instrument to address the issue because it is a document that sets forth objectives, policies, programmes, actions and decisions that define who will do what and why. It felt that a Strategy could be used as a foundation for various policy instruments, and that it clearly establishes an ongoing commitment at national, regional and global levels. The Technical Consultatio n approved a draft Strategy for Improving Information on Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries and requested that this report and the draft Strategy be presented to the Twenty-fifth Session of the Committee on Fisheries. It also recognized that it would be necessary for FAO and FAO Members to elaborate programmes to implement the Strategy and suggested that COFI identify approaches to ensure the effective implementation of this Strategy.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
