Abstract

International fish trade is a complex web of actions of importers and exporters, considering that global trade in fishery commodities involves billions of US dollars. In 2008, global fish trade reached US$ 102 billion (export value) representing an 11% growth relative to that of 2004. The top five global fish markets were Japan, USA, Spain, France, and Italy meanwhile Thailand and Vietnam were among the top five exporters of fishery commodities (FAO, 2010). About one-half of all fish exports are produced in developing countries, while the big consumers are developed countries accounting for 80% of all imports. This indicates that developing countries have found a stable market that can be relied on, the market niche carved for the fish and fisheries products from developing countries, providing them bright future in terms of job opportunities and increased incomes, contributing to the socio-economic well-being of their people.
