Fish trade in the Near East region
The paper examines recent trends in the production, trade and consumption of fish in the Near East region, and presents perspectives of future demand for and production of fish in the region, so as to highlight possibilities for the further expansion of trade in fish, both within the region and externally. The paper concluded that a two-fold increase in total regional requirements of fish and fish products seems likely by 1985 and that, taking normative assumptions regarding probable fish output in the region, a serious deficit could arise between regional production of fish and projected demand. However, at the individual country level, certain nations are likely to have surpluses of production over domestic demand, which could form the basis for intensified internal trade in the region. The possibilities for the export to international markets of certain high-value species are also reviewed. The paper concludes with an Appendix giving more detailed country-by country consideration o f the present and prospective state of fish production and fish trade.
