ProjectFactsheetSupporting Local Feed Self-Sufficiency for Inland Aquaculture in Indonesia - TCP/INS/3606 2020
Also available in:
No results found.In 2014, Indonesia produced 3.64 million tonnes of aquaculture products, making it the second largest aquaculture producer in the world. Of this production, 2.86 million tonnes, equivalent to 67 percent of total aquaculture production and 94 percent of total fish production, was accounted for by freshwater culture. The general trend towards global production intensification indicates that the demand for aquafeed will continue to rise in the coming years. Indeed, between 2008 and 2015, aquafeed demand increased by 70 percent in Indonesia. However, commercially manufactured aquafeed is estimated at 1.1 million tonnes per year and relies heavily on imported feed ingredients according to the Indonesian Feed Mill Association (GPMT). More specifically, 89 percent and 65 percent of feed ingredients for shrimp and fish aquafeed production, respectively, are being imported. Although the aquaculture production sector in Indonesia is dominated by small-scale farmers, aquaculture practices are generally driven by basic economic criteria, such as income generation, productivity and production. However, production is still largely governed by the balance between the availability and affordability of production inputs. This is certainly the case for aquafeed, which typically accounts for 50–70 percent of the costs for aquaculture production. -
ProjectFactsheetSupport to Seaweed Cultivation, Processing and Marketing through Assessment and Capacity Development - TCP/BGD/3704 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Seaweed farming is a profitable industry in many countries in Southeast Asia, including Japan, Malaysia and China, and it is growing in Sri Lanka and India as well Bangladesh has a great deal of potential for seaweed culture, thanks to its 480 km of coastline, sandy and muddy beaches, estuaries and mangrove swamps, all of which are ideal habitats for seaweed cultivation In addition, the country boasts 133 different species of seaweed, and eight of these are highly marketable Despite having an ideal environment, the country has lagged significantly behind other countries in the region in terms of seaweed production. -
DocumentFactsheetPromoting Sago Starch Utilization In Indonesia - TCP/INS/3503 (Phase I) and TCP/INS/3701 (Phase II) 2020
Also available in:
No results found.It is estimated that by 2025 Indonesia will have a population of 300 million people and will require approximately 18 million tonnes of rice to feed its population. The increasing trend in rice consumption due to population growth rate in Indonesia in recent years, however, has raised concerns for the country’s food security. Sago starch consumption in Indonesia offers a significant opportunity to contribute to the elimination of food insecurity. Promoting awareness of sustainable sago palm production and starch extraction is the key to increasing sago starch utilization. Adding value to sago starch through downstream processing and linking the value added products to markets are also critical to the sustained growth of sago production. To address these challenges, the projects aimed to raise awareness and promote advocacy for the sustainable production and utilization of sago starch, strengthen the application of good agricultural practices (GAP) in sago palm production and promote good manufacturing practices (GMP) in sago starch production. The projects would also build capacities to promote the creation of small food-based sago starch enterprises by piloting integrated units for sago starch extraction and wastewater and hampas management and utilization in South Konawe and Konawe District, and Kendari City, South East Province

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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe future of food and agriculture - Trends and challenges 2017
Also available in:
No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
