The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has published its biennial report, The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), revealing a record high in global seafood production. In 2022, the production reached 223.2 million metric tons, with aquaculture surpassing wild-catch output for the first time, contributing 57 percent to the total. The report highlights the employment of 61.8 million people in the sector and notes a significant growth in aquaculture, with China leading the production. The FAO anticipates a 10 percent increase in production by 2032, but due to global population growth, production is expected to fall short of meeting demand by 2050. The report underscores the need for sustainable practices, targeted policies, and investment in underutilized countries to meet the rising demand.
