No results found.The FAO GLOBEFISH Chinese Fish Price Report, based on information supplied by industry correspondents, aims to provide guidance on broad price trends. In the last years, China remained the top fish producer in the world with strong linkages with this historical evolution growth of aquaculture vis-à-vis wild capture fisheries. In addition, China is a country where international trade plays a significant role in fish and fish products. The Chinese Fish Price Report fills an existing gap in connection with price dissemination and information of the main produced species for this important market, together with a snapshot of industry news and policy updates.

Book (stand-alone)ProceedingsMeeting proceedings: Regional consultation on food safety indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Developing a set of regional food safety indicators with the overall goal of strengthening national food control systems has been a key topic at various regional food safety meetings in Asia and the Pacific, and Members of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in the region often request FAO to initiate dialogues on the topic. In order to address the need, FAO held a regional consultation on food safety indicators from 6 to 8 December 2017 in Singapore, with the primary objective for national food safety competent authorities to review various existing food safety indicators in the context of their national situations, particularly in developing countries. The consultation welcomed 84 participants, including senior officials working in the area of food safety (from 18 Asian and 6 Pacific Island countries), speakers, observers and meeting secretariat members. Participants were provided with an FAO technical working paper that described the preliminary review process and identified existing indicators prior to the meeting. The paper was used as the basis for all discussions during the consultation. Through various presentations, panel discussions and working group sessions, all participants confirmed the need for, and importance of, having measurable and actionable food safety indicators, and critically reviewed all existing food safety indicators summarized in the technical working paper. Using a set of criteria, participants developed a draft set of regional food safety indicators that national food safety competent authorities could use to develop their own national food safety indicators. Participants also engaged in active discussions on useful applications of national food safety indicators. Participants suggested that FAO develop a technical tool that can be used as a guide for competent authorities to define their own national food safety indicators. The tool is planned to be piloted in several countries in the region to verify the usefulness of the 1) guidance tool, and 2) applications that the national food safety indicators are aimed at. -

MeetingMeeting documentRegional consultation promoting responsible production and use of feed and feed ingredients for sustainable growth of aquaculture in Asia-Pacific. Thirty-fifth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC)
Cebu, the Philippines, 11-13 May 2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 90% of the world aquaculture output (FAO, 2016) and the region will have to responsible for sustaining the supply of food fish to increasing population. Feed input in aquaculture represents the major production cost and the most important factor affecting farming profitability and ecological efficiency. Issues and challenges have been rising with the questionable use of fish meal and fish oil, mounting pressure on and competition for ingredient supply, increasing feed costs, variation of feed quality and availability, and feed ingredient related food safety concerns. The region needs to adjust the development strategies and devote more efforts in research, development and capacity building for sustainable production and use of aquaculture feeds. A
