    The FAO Yearbook of Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics, prepared by the Statistics Team of the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, offers a synthesis of the major trends in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. Statistics are presented in eight main thematic chapters, covering statistics of production (total, aquaculture, capture fisheries), employment, fleet, consumption and trade, together with a section with selected tables and an Annex including notes, concepts, classifications and a map of FAO major fishing areas. The Yearbook is meant to constitute a primary tool for policymakers, researchers and analysts, as well as for the general public interested in the past and current paths of the sector.

    A snapshot of fisheries and aquaculture in Small Island Developing States 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The United Nations Food Systems Summit championed the call to transform our global food systems. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) can heed the call and consider transforming their aquatic food production. Coastal and riparian communities have, through the centuries, made use of what their oceans, rivers and lakes provided for them. On small islands, aquatic food is particularly important for food security, nutrition and livelihoods. This study provides a snapshot of fisheries and aquaculture in SIDS to better understand their position and their potential in relation to aquatic food production, consumption, and local, regional and global trade. Many SIDS have limited capacity to implement effective, long-term fisheries management. Yet strong community linkages and a rich history of marine resource use and management mean SIDS have valuable traditional knowledge to help guide data collection, develop co-management arrangements, and monitor management effectiveness. The importance of fisheries and aquaculture in SIDS varies between and across regions. Data quality remains a challenge for SIDS highlighting the need for better species identification and more accurate reporting. Additionally, SIDS have lagged behind in the global expansion of global aquaculture.

    Estimating the food value chain decomposition by industries and primary factors 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This statistics working paper presents an estimation methodology for decomposing food expenditure across the industries and the primary factors of the food value chain (FVC). The approach outlined is based on the Global Food Dollar methodology developed by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ERS) and Cornell University. FAO has enriched the analytical scope of the methodology by adding the industry and primary factors decomposition. Country coverage has also been increased by adapting the methodology to different data types and sources.

    FAO's Statistics Division compiles Food Balance Sheet (FBS) statistics for 181 countries. FBS present a comprehensive picture of the agrifood situation of a country in a specified reference period, showing the pattern of a country's food supply and utilizations. FAOSTAT data domain disseminates statistics on food balance sheets compiled using the new methodology from 2010 to 2019. The historic time series back to 1961 consist of data derived from the old FBS methodology.
