Fisheries and the right to food 2012, para. 20
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- International trade in fish products rose from 8 million tons in 1976, with a value of about $8 billion, to 57 million tonnes in 2010, worth an estimated $102 billion. Approximately 40 per cent of all fish production is traded internationally, which is more than other foods such as rice (5 per cent) and wheat (20 per cent). For many low-income food-deficit countries or developing countries, the fisheries sector has become an increasingly important, but undervalued, economic sector, both as a source of export revenue and as a source of State revenue from selling access to distant-water fishing fleets. The overall economic, social and food security impacts of this increase in international trade of fish products are, however, ambiguous
