DocumentOther documentA brief introduction to trawl fishery and management issues in Vietnam 2013
Also available in:
No results found.Trawl fisheries play an important role in Vietnam marine capture fishery, not only in terms of total number of fishing effort, but also in catch volume. According to DECAFIREP1 (2013), currently, there are about 19,700 trawlers which were categorized by different fishing fleets based on engine capacity (HP), namely below 20 CV, 20-‐ ˂50CV, 50-‐ ˂90CV, 90-‐ ˂ 150CV, 150-‐ ˂ 250CV, 250-‐ ˂ 400CV and above 400CV. Trawlers occur in all 28 coastal provinces but dominant in the certain provinces, such as the northern cluster: Quang Ninh (1,257 units), Thanh Hoa (1,296 units); the southern cluster including Binh Thuan (1,227 units), Ba Ria – Vung Tau (1,980 units), Ben Tre (2,878 units) and Kien Giang (3,156 units). The small trawlers (bellow 90 CV) normally fish shrimp, prawn while big trawlers focus on fish including small pelagic fishes (anchovy, sardine, scads…) and others. Mainly, shrimp trawlers concentrate in Kien Giang, Ben Tre, Ca Mau and Bac Lieu provinces. Below 90 CV trawlers account for about 46 % total number of trawlers in the country. -
DocumentOther documentThe trawl Fisheries of the western Bay of Bengal 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The Western Bay of Bengal (WBoB) trawl fishery is typically a tropical multispecies mixed fishery with a history of commercial exploitation since early 1960s. The nature of fishing changed dramatically with the introduction of trawlers. In the last 50 years, trawlers have become immensely popular and have emerged as the most important fishing craft in the region. The trawl fishery extends from 8oN (off Kanyakumari on the south) to 22oN (off Sunderbans in the north), accessing fishing grounds bet ween 10 m and 150 m depth, but often restricted to a maximum depth of about 70 m. Thus trawling by Indian fishermen has remained exclusively a coastal activity and deep-‐sea trawling is occasional. The main gear is the bottom otter trawl, with two variants, namely the shrimp trawl and fish trawl. The difference between the two variants is that the shrimp trawl scrapes through the bottom with more sinkers, and the fish trawl is hauled slightly off bottom with more floats. The fishery is complex with operation from craft varying in length and efficiency. All trawlers are mechanized, with the engine placed inboard. Being multispecies, the fishery exploits species that widely vary in their life history traits and habitats. Approximately 800 species of elasmobranchs, teleosts, crustaceans, molluscs and echinoderms are taken by the trawls, and at least 300 species contribute to the fishery. -
DocumentOther documentThe trawl fishery of the Eastern Arabian Sea 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The trawl catch is showing an increasing trend all along Indian coast, which is contributing highly to the economy of the country. Research programs are being conducted for resources conservation and sustainability of production in trawl fisheries. The changes in fishing technology and catch characteristics, like pelagic trawl introduction, introduction of high speed engines, bycatch issues and juvenile fishery are monitored and discussed in various forums organized by government of India. Such awareness and participatory programs are also yielding socially acceptable solutions for many of the issues. The closure of fishery during monsoon is earnestly followed by the trawl fishery. The debate is going on for introduction of new ban period and/ extension of existing ban period in various fora.

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. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
