New Release: Guidelines for increasing access of small-scale fisheries to insurance services in Asia: A handbook for insurance and fisheries stakeholders

The purpose of these insurance guidelines is fourfold, i.e.:

  • to increase awareness about the needs of small-scale fishers for better risk management, disaster preparedness and insurance services
  • to guide policy and decision makers to help introduce insurance services to small-scale fishers, with the ultimate objective to strengthen the sustainability and ecological and economic viability of these fisheries;
  • to build capacity among insurance providers, fisherfolk organizations, NGOs, and concerned government agencies, to design and implement insurance programmes that suit the needs of small-scale fishing communities and enhance social protection;
  • to promote insurance services that incentivize and reward a responsible and sustainable conduct of fishing operations and a better preparedness for natural disasters including climate change related challenges.

Social and economic performance of tilapia farming in Brazil (FI Circular 1181)

Abstract

The goal of the document is to provide a comprehensive and balanced assessment of the technical, economic and social dimensions of tilapia farming in Brazil with a focus on its socio-economic impacts. The document is based on local data and information (including field data) provided by government agencies and research institutes (e.g. Embrapa) in Brazil and incorporates the latest FAO statistics on global fishery and aquaculture production and fisheries commodities trade. The document follows the structure of a previous FAO publication on the social and economic performance of tilapia farming in five African countries (i.e. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1130), as well as one on the social and economic dimensions of seaweed farming in six countries worldwide (i.e. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 580).


Tilapia is the most popular aquaculture species item farmed in over 120 countries or territories worldwide. Global tilapia aquaculture production grew 11 percent annually (or 13 percent in terms of farmgate value) over the past three decades, from 0.3 million tonnes (USD 304 million) in 1987 to 5.9 million tonnes (USD 11 billion) in 2017. Aquaculture production in Brazil increased 14 percent annually (or 12 percent in terms of farmgate value), from 13 000 tonnes (USD 56 million) in 1987 to 595 000 tonnes (USD 1.5 billion) in 2017, making it a regional aquaculture powerhouse contributing to 20 percent of Latin America and the Caribbean ’s aquaculture production in 2017. In Brazil, tilapia has been the largest aquaculture item, contributing to nearly half of the country’s aquaculture production tonnage in 2017. This document assesses tilapia farming and the value chain in Brazil by examining tilapia farming technology and practices, dissecting the tilapia value chain, evaluating the sector’s social and economic performance, discussing the importance of proper governance to the sector development, and highlighting potentials, issues, constraints and challenges in the development of tilapia farming or aquaculture in general in Brazil.

New Release: Top 10 species groups in global aquaculture 2017

Top 10 species groups in global aquaculture 2017

The latest FAO global aquaculture production statistics record 608 species items (under the ASFIS – Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System – list of aquatic species) that have been farmed in global aquaculture during 1950–2017. Among them, 424 species items were farmed in 2017, with concrete production statistics recorded in the FAO database (compared to 254 species items in 1990). This factsheet examines 2017 global aquaculture production of these 424 species items to identify the top 10 most farmed ASFIS species items (in terms of quantity or value); the top 10 most farmed species groups; and the top 10 species groups in world aquaculture, excluding China. More information about top 10 aquaculture species (groups) at the regional level and national level (for major aquaculture producers) can be found in the supplementary materials to this factsheet.
