Book (series)Technical reportFuture prospects for fish and fishery products. 4. Fish consumption in the European Union in 2015 and 2030. Part 2. Country projections [Available on the Web only] 2008
Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the major results by country for fish consumption (consumption per capita and apparent consumption), production (captures and aquaculture and commodities) and fish trade (exports and imports) estimations and projections for 28 countries in Europe from 1989 to 2030. The increasing demand of ready-to-eat products are projected for everywhere in Europe in 2030 but with a more marked trend in the western countries because of high purchasing power in the region. Changes in consumption are mainly changes in commodities rather than species: the same species will be consumed in 2030 but in a different form. Eastern European countries will progressively catch up and conform to the consumption pattern of the Western countries. The improvement of their economies and changing consumption habits will slowly allow Eastern countries to develop a demand-driven market rather than the current supply-driven one. But, behind the apparent standardisation of consumption, regional differences will still exist: a Spanish consumer will not have the same consumption pattern as a Swedish or a Romanian one. National preferences will be conditioned through the net supply of commodities that respect historical tastes and habits but also integrate modern living conditions. -
Book (series)Technical reportFuture prospects for fish and fishery products. 4. Fish consumption in the European Union in 2015 and 2030. Part 1. European Overview 2006

No results found.This report presents the major results for fish consumption (consumption per capita and apparent consumption), production (captures and aquaculture and commodities) and fish trade (exports and imports) estimations and projections for 28 countries in Europe from 1989 to 2030. The projections show an increase in the demand for seafood products to 2030. The average per capita consumption by the 28 countries will move form 22 kg/caput/year in 1998 to 24 kg/caput/year in 2030. The two additiona l kilograms per capita signify that the net supply will have to increase by 1.6 million tonnes (MT) (respectively 1.1 Mt for the 2 extra kg per person and 550 000 tonnes due to the 22 million population growth over the period). Aquaculture growth will not be able to meet the increasing demand; therefore, imports are projected to rise to 11 Mt (+15 percent from 1998), increasing the dependency of Europe on the rest of the world for its fish and fish products. -
Book (series)Technical reportHistorical consumption and future demand for fish and fishery products: exploratory calculations for the years 2015/2030. 1999
Also available in:
No results found.Dr Ye’s study provides an estimate of global demand for fish as food in the years 2015 and 2030. Global demand is obtained by adding estimates made for 17 groups of countries. After a review of consumption during the last 35 years, Dr Ye projects demand using observed statistical relationships between per caput consumption (live weight equivalent) and per caput GDP, a choice dictated by the paucity of historical data on price. For regions where a relationship (established through regre ssion analysis) between observed per caput consumption and per caput GDP does not have statistical significance, or leads to clearly unrealistic results, a time trend regression was used. The author presents his results grouping the 17-country groups into six continents. He ends by discussing the significance of his findings, stressing that they represent potential demand; actual demand will be determined by the supply response to prices.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood wastage footprint & Climate Change 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The 2011 FAO assessment of global food losses and waste estimated that each year, one-third of all food produced in the world for human consumption never reached the consumer’s table. This not only means a missed opportunity for the economy and food security, but also a waste of all the natural resources used for growing, processing, packaging, transporting and marketing food. Through an extensive literature search, the 2011 assessment of food wastage volumes gathered weight ratios of food losse s and waste for different regions of the world, different commodity groups and different steps of the supply chain. These ratios were applied to regional food mass flows of FAO’s Food Balance Sheets for the year 2007. Food wastage arises at all stages of the food supply chains for a variety of reasons that are very much dependent on the local conditions within each country. At a global level, a pattern is clearly visible; in high income regions, volumes of wasted food are higher in the processin g, distribution and consumption stages, whereas in low-income countries, food losses occur in the production and postharvesting phases. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture - 2016 (SOFIA)
Contributing to food security and nutrition for all
2016This issue of The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to provide objective, reliable and up-to-date data and information to a wide range of readers – policy-makers, managers, scientists, stakeholders and indeed all those interested in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. As always, the scope is global and the topics many and varied. This edition uses the latest official statistics on fisheries and aquaculture to present a global analysis of trends in fish stocks, production, p rocessing, utilization, trade and consumption. It also reports on the status of the world’s fishing fleets and analyses the make-up of human engagement in the sector.
