DocumentOther documentProgramme for the Implementation of a Regional Fisheries Strategy for the Eastern and Southern Africa and Indian Ocean Region. Regional Market Assessment: Supply and Demand 2012
Also available in:
No results found.This report contains a market assessment of the 19 African countries receiving support under an EU-funded programme called SmartFish1. The purpose of the assessment was to identify national production trends (e.g. decline or increase) with regard to capture fisheries (fish caught wild) and aquaculture (fish farming) as well as future potentials with regards to further production and increased regional trade. Threats to current production as well as to future developments were also identified. Fu rthermore, for each of the countries, import and export flows of fish and fish products were examined, as well as the demand for the products (within, as well as outside the countries). -

No results found.This Working Paper looks at forest output and production in the Asia-Pacific region and analyses the state of markets and major trade flows. Major issues and constraints facing forestry are discussed and the outlook for the sector is presented. The "most likely" future scenario for forest product supply and demand is presented, drawing on the findings of other major international and regional institutions such as ITTO, the Asian Development Bank and the World Bank. Appendices provide the major t rade statistics for the region.

2014Also available in:
No results found.This document contains the report of the twenty-fourth session of the Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) held in Rome, Italy, from 5 to 8 February 2013. This was the first session after the Aquaculture and Fishery subject Groups were formally established. Two subject Groups had their own meetings to review the progress made and develop work plan for the next intersessional period prior to the main session. The main session received the report from the two Groups and approved the work plans presented. Other main topics discussed were the revision of International Statistical Standard Classifications of Fishing Gears (ISSCFG), the revision and future dissemination of the CWP Handbook, the review of status of “Rules of Procedure” and the improvement in visibility of CWP. -
Book (series)FlagshipReport of the fifth meeting of the Working Group on Aquaculture. Doha, the State of Qatar, 27 October 2010 2010
Also available in:
No results found.The fifth meeting of the Working Group on Aquaculture (WGA) of the Regional Commission for Fisheries (RECOFI) was held in Doha, the State of Qatar, on 27 October 2010 and was attended by the representatives from seven Member countries. The WGA reviewed the outcome and recommendations of the Special Meeting on RECOFI Consolidation and Development held in Rome in May 2010 at the request of the Commission at its Fifth session. The WGA in acknowledging the suggestions made at this meeting, requested the Secretariat to communicate to its Members the options to be considered for strengthening the Commission, well in advance of its next session. The WGA discussed national and regional follow-up actions to the two WGA technical workshops on Aquatic Animal Health (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 6–10 April 2008) and on Sustainable Marine Cage Aquaculture Development (Muscat, Oman, 25–27 January 2009). In general, it was agreed that the Members benefitted from technical workshops organized under the aegis of the Commission. It was nevertheless noted that an efficient mechanism on how to best ensure a coordinated and region-wide response and follow-up to key technical recommendations was needed. A brief presentation on the joint RECOFI WGA and Working Group on Fisheries Management (WGFM) Regional Technical Workshop on Spatial Planning for Marine Capture Fisheries and Aquaculture, held in Doha, Qatar, from 24 to 28 October, was presented highlighting the key recommendations and suggested follow-up outputs. The meeting discussed the Regional Aquaculture Information System (RAIS) following the presentation of the first Web analysis report which indicated a steady interest in the information system particularly among the Arabic speaking countries. Actions to further consolidate the system were discussed along with the need to improve the overall communication outputs at the national and regional levels. The WGA finalized its proposed programme of work for the next intersessional period, bas ed also on the recommendations from its previous technical workshops. The WGA recognized that the Commission, based on its current level of financial contribution, may not have the required budget to implement a comprehensive aquaculture programme and recommended that some activities could be implemented with extrabudgetary funds. The WGA Focal Point of Qatar was nominated as the new WGA Chairperson. -
Book (series)Technical reportWorld aquaculture 2015: a brief overview 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Global aquaculture production in 2015 has been recorded as 106 million tonnes, with an estimated value of US$163 billion. The production comprised of farmed aquatic animals, aquatic plants and non-food products (pearls and shells). The average annual percentage growth rate of world aquatic animal production slowed down to 6.4 percent in the period 2001–2015. However, African aquaculture recorded 10.4 percent during the same period, albeit from a comparatively low baseline. By production volume, aquatic animals have been dominated by finfish farming (63–68 percent in the last two decades). Aquatic plants contributed 27.7 percent to the global aquaculture production in 2015. Fish produced by this rapidly growing sector are high-protein, containing essential micronutrients sometimes essential fatty acids, which cannot easily be substituted by other food commodities. The 76.6 million tonnes of aquatic animals produced in 2015 contributed 45 percent to the total global aquatic animal produc tion and little over 53 percent to the total global fish consumption in the same year. Per capita food fish consumption is estimated as 20.3 kg in 2015, compared to 19.7 kg in 2013. An estimated 18.7 million people were employed in global aquaculture in 2015.
