No results found.The ocean surrounding Kiribati is a precious source for the population livelihoods: it provides employment, source of income and healthy food. Kiribati has one of the highest per capita consumption of fish in the world with around 77 kg/capita. In the last years the fisheries sector in Kiribati has shown constant growth, particularly in capture fisheries where tuna catches have greatly contributed up to representing about 99 percent of the total. The factsheet provides an overview of the tuna fisheries in Kiribati and highlights how the FAO project “Sustainable Fish Value Chain for Small Island Developing States (SVC4SIDS)” is working to improve opportunities and enhance sustainable development and competitiveness of its associated value chain. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureTowards sustainable fish value chains for domestic tuna in Kiribati
A ten-year upgrading strategy (2023–2033)
2025Also available in:
No results found.Kiribati, a small island country in the Central Pacific Ocean, has one of the world’s largest exclusive economic zones (EEZs), with abundant marine resources and tuna stock within its water. The artisanal tuna catch plays an important role in food security. An estimated 4 000 tonnes of tuna were caught annually by artisanal fishers, equating to annual tuna supply of around 33 kg per capita. Subsistence fishing is critical, with 47 percent of 20 000 households directly engaged in fishing activities; of these, 69 percent fish solely for home consumption. Fish consumption is estimated to exceed 70 kg per capita, one of the highest rates globally, being the primary protein source of protein in local diets. FAO SVC4SIDS project focuses on enhancing the domestic tuna value chain in the capital, South Tarawa, and two outer islands, Makin and Nikuanu, with further activities extending to North Tarawa. In collaboration with national stakeholders, the project has developed a comprehensive 10-year strategy. This aims at enhancing local capacity through sustainable infrastructure development, market-oriented vocational training, improved aquatic food safety and private sector development. While prioritised activities are being implemented, broader adoption and scaling of interventions requires collaboration and additional support. The publication seeks to garner support from development and donor partners.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPicturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
