BookletTechnical briefCôte d'Ivoire bridging the gap between finance and fish farmers
The investment case for improved financial services to tilapia farmers
2025Also available in:
This document presents an investment case for modified and improved farming methods for tilapia in Cote d’Ivoire. The case is built on information about the costs, benefits and results of the action which was funded by FISH4ACP in 2024 and 2025. Tilapia is the main fish species farmed in Côte d'Ivoire with an annual production of some 7 700 tonnes, and contributes only a small proportion of total annual domestic production, with national demand meaning that the country is highly reliant on imports of fish. Methods of farming tilapia were previously not efficient, but through action by FISH4ACP to improve the quality and availability of fingerlings, ensure enhanced farming methods, and introduce digital technologies, the financial performance of tilapia farming was enhanced. This is demonstrated through financial models of the operating accounts of fish farmers prior to, and after FISH4ACP support.

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.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
