Data and market analysis
Data and market analysis
The work under this area of work focusses on the regular production and dissemination of comprehensive market studies, price reports, analysis and statistical information for fisheries and aquaculture products.
More than a third of the world’s fish production is traded internationally and, looking ahead, the market of fisheries and aquaculture products will rapidly continue its growth.
As the fisheries and aquaculture sector increasingly relies on regional and international trade for its development, it has become crucial for those involved to have consistent, timely, independent and trusted market information.
Since 1984 the FAO GLOBEFISH project has been producing and disseminating easily accessible information and analysis in various formats to assist designing and implementing efficient and inclusive market and trade strategies and to facilitate access and participation in a rapidly changing globalized economy.
The FAO GLOBEFISH produces information and publications regularly, thanks to the extensive network of correspondents from the industry and direct access to most updated statistical data source.
