No results found.Aquaculture in Latin America and the Caribbean is growing at double (18.5 percent) the world average growth rate (8.2 percent) in the last 30 years. Three countries – Chile, Brazil and Ecuador – account for 74.5 percent of the volume and 77.9 percent of the value farmed in the last triennium. Regional aquaculture production has a high degree of concentration, but it has shown a slow diversification process. However, in the past 30 years, the contribution of aquaculture has risen from 0.1 to 9.6 percent of the regional fishery output in part because the stagnant capture fisheries. Improvements are required to increase access and performance of small-scale farmers, particularly in technical matters, farm management, market and marketing, financial aspects and logistics. Additionally, new technical assistance schemes, replacing old paternalistic practices, must be devised allowing small-scale farmers to improve production on a sustainable manner. Local natural conditions, good governa nce, political will and better science applied to production will permit substantial aquaculture progress in Latin America and the Caribbean, increasing its role in world fish farming and becoming an important source of livelihood and progress throughout the region. -
