The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has released a report revealing that global fisheries and aquaculture production hit a record 232.2 million tons in 2022, with a projected growth of 10% by 2032. This figure surpasses that of 2020 by 4.4%, with aquaculture now surpassing capture fisheries as the primary source of aquatic animals. The report emphasizes the importance of sustainable aquaculture practices, specific policies, technology transfer, and responsible investment to combat food insecurity and poverty. In 2022, global trade in aquatic products reached $195 billion, with China being the leading exporter. The consumption of foods of aquatic origin is vital for nutrition, providing essential high-quality protein and nutrients for 3.2 billion people. The sector also provides employment for 61.8 million people, with women accounting for a significant portion, particularly in processing.
