The importance of fishery trade in developing countries
“The net export revenues
earned by developing countries
from their fish and fishery
products is higher than the
entire sum of all other food
commodities combined”,--reported FAO.
PRICE TREND FOR FISH PRICES
The overall narrowing in the global economy is
having negative impact on foreign fishery trade.
FAO Fish price Index: (2002-2004=100)
Demand has been weak in most of the customary
western markets.
2012
Export prices and profit margins are under
pressure, particularly for aquaculture products.
FAO Fish Price Index indicated that farmed species
reached record high levels in April 2011 at 161 but
dropped to 119 in October 2012.
International prices of high value shrimp, salmon
have stayed low throughout 2012.
In comparison , prices of varieties from capture
fisheries have fared better, dropping from 167 in
August 2011 to 150 in October 2012.
However, in Malaysia seafood prices remain high

High Value Aquaculture and Seafood Trade
Now a days , it is rather difficult to draw a clear line between low , medium and
high value species .
Marine fin fish such as groupers, sea bass , snappers , abalone , sea cucumber are
the higher value aquaculture products with growing demand
With a different name ‘Siakap’ (Asian seabass) has a better image . When
marketed as “barramundi” , it sells well at a higher price in Asian and western
markets .
 soft-shell crab farming is taking over many brackish water shrimp ponds in the
region due to better market opportunities.
 Imports of high value seafood continues to rise in Asia .
EAST ASIA IS THE LARGEST MARKET FOR LIVE FOOD FISH
• Regional import and domestic markets for live food fish and
crustaceans are expanding
• While China is the growing outlet for live marine fishery
products, freshwater species are gaining popularity in other
markets.
• Pink tilapia has replaced wild red snapper in many seafood
restaurants since 1997 economic recession
• Restaurant demand for live freshwater prawn has also
increased, replacing black tiger shrimp
Asian Live fish market
China including Hong Kong is the largest import
market …nearly 20, 000 tons were imported in
2008 . Marine fin fish and shellfish categories are
the main product groups.
Freshwater fish , such as Marble Goby’ also fetches high
price in southern China and south east Asian markets
Live fish and seafood are widely sold in China’s retail and
restaurant trade.
East Asia
While demand for
wild fisheries
which are more
natural - will
continue …...,
demand for
certified farmed
fish and shellfish
will gains
consumers
acceptance in
developing Asian
markets
“High retail prices”
of healthy food is
not always a factor
as far as fish is
concern . many
Asians do not mind
paying higher prices
for their preferred
species or products
……..Norwegian
salmon and
cod are the
perfect
examples!

Short term market forecast for Developing countries------During the last quarter of this year, the World
Bank has reviewed its 2012 growth forecast for
developing countries in East Asia and the Pacific
to 7.2% , pulled down by China’s lower economic
growth forecast at 7.7% this year down from
9.3% in 2011. This is the slowest rate since 1999.
The lower economic growth , coupled with
reduced activity in the fish processing sector are
slackening China’s demand for a number of
imports, including fishery products .Export prices
of some fishery products to China are already
showing weakening signs .
Even so , the FAO forecast for 2012 on global
fish trade is still positive at +3% in value
compared with 2011; volumes could show lower
variation at around +0.5% from the previous year.
In the long run -----Asia will increasingly dominate global fishery supply as well as
demand
The population in Asia is nearly 4 billion, of which 524 million
are classified as middle class comprising 28% of the world’s
middleclass population.
They spend between US$ 10 and US$ 100 a day ,supported by
the rising income .
Their preference for healthy food is high including fishery
products
What the world financial
watchdogs say about
Asia’s economies
Royal Bank of Canada: “ The number
of wealthy Asian surpasses that of
North Americans”
Asian Development Bank: “Some 3
billion Asian could rise to affluent
status by 2050 , if the continent
sustains its present growth
momentum and avoids being trapped
at middle income level”.
PAX Survey: Wealthy Asians would
rather travel (----enjoy fine food) than
invest. As the market develops, its
more affluent individual have started
to develop a taste of finer things in
life” …including fine dinning and
traveling in first class and business
class.
In future , sustainability will remain the
key factor in global fishery supplies.
For international and domestic markets,
food safety and quality assurance are the
important issues that need to be
strengthened in the producing countries.

Trends and Issues
• Increasing supplies from aquaculture (Taiwan,
Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Phillipines,
Brunei, Vietnam)
• Growing demand: China and SE Asian markets
• Current high dependency on live fish market
• The New trend: Air-flown freshly killed
grouper for banquets from Australia
• Farming: costs, feed related issues (trash fish
vs pellet)
