THE STATE OF WORLD FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE

GLOBAL MARKET

STRUCTURE

GLOBAL SUPPLY/DEMAND

  • Total global fish production 171 million tonnes
  • Value of all seafood production $362 billion
  • People employed in the sector 59.6 million
  • Main producers
  • Sustainable vs unsustainable fisheries

GLOBAL SUPPLY

FISHERIES

AQUACULTURE

SUPPLY SIDE

  • Stable growth
  • More controls on illegal fishing and marine pollution
  • Continuous growth
  • Reduction of losses and waste
  • Great business opportunities but with managerial difficulties

GLOBAL DEMAND

  • The total value of international seafood trade is projected to rise by 8.3% in US dollar terms
  • Risk:
  • Economic slowdown caused by rising interest rates and the possibility of further escalation of the ‘trade war’ between the United States and China

DEMAND SIDE

SEAFOOD VALUE CHAIN

GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN

EXPORT DATA

  • The total value of fisheries and aquaculture products exported by the EU to third countries, EUR 5 billion
  • Five Member States
  • The most remarkable increase concerned the Chinese market.
  • By 2030 62% of fisheries will come from aquaculture

EXPORTERS

CONSUMPTION TRENDS

In per capita terms, food fish

consumption has grown from 9.0 kg in 1961 to

20.2 kg in 2015

Globally, fish and fish products provide an

average of only about 34 calories per capita per day

GLOBAL CONSUMPTION

China's the world’s largest fish consuming country with 38% of the global total in 2015 (41 kg)

Europe, Japan and the United States of America

together accounted 20% of the world’s total food fish consumption in 2015

The shift is the result of structural changes in the sector in particular the growing role of Asian countries in fish productions

IMPORTERS

  • Top importers are: the USA ($5.84B), Japan (2.9B), Germany ($1.73B), France ($1.61B) and the UK ($1.02B)

  • European Fish Dependance Day (88% of assessed fish stocks in the Mediterranean are considered over-fished)

PROJECTIONS OF FISHERIES, AQUACULTURE AND MARKETS

FUTURE

PERSPECTIVES

  • Production:

201 million tonnes in 2030

  • Prices:

Higher prices in nominal terms

  • Consumption:

21.5 kg in 2030

  • Trades: 31% of total fishery production will be exported (48 million tonnes)

DATA & FACTS

RELATION TO THE SDGs

  • 3 billion people depend on marine biodiversity
  • Global fish market represent 5% of the global GDP
  • Oceans are the largest source of protein in the world
  • 1/3 of commercial fish stocks are fished to unsustainable levels

HIGHLIGHTS OF FAO FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE IMPACT ON THE SDGs

IMPACT

  • Unwanted fishes
  • Protecting ecosystem
  • Fishing methods
  • Illegal fishing
  • Pollution
