Abstract

About a third of the global fish production is believed to enter international trade and, in value terms, it amounts to US$ 52 billion. According to the FAO Yearbook of Fishery Statistics, the developing countries increased their share of international trade in fish and fish products from 44 per cent in 1985 to 46 per cent in 1995 (declining from 51 per cent in 1994). In the same period, the share of tow-income food-deficit countries (LIFDCs) increased from 14 per cent to 19 per cent.
