  • Aquaculture Growth Potential in Landlocked Developing Countries
    Aquaculture growth potential in Landlocked Developing Countries WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy-making and sector management in aquaculture March 2021 Preparation of this factsheet This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of aquaculture growth potential in Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC). It relies on official data and statistics readily available to the public. Some important dimensions such as aquaculture’s contribution to GDP and employment are not covered due to the lack of data. Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO and other international or national organizations. The data and statistics, which were the most updated at the time when the factsheet was prepared, may differ from data and statistics used in other WAPI factsheets because of different data sources or different versions of the same datasets. They may not be consistent with data and statistics from other sources. The term “country” used in this factsheet includes non-sovereign territory. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concerning the legal or development status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. The factsheet follows the grouping of Landlocked Developing Countries, Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) adopted by the UN Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Development countries and Small Island Developing States (UN-OHRLLS): http://unohrlls.org/about-sids/country-profiles/.
