Josupeit, H.; The Market for Nile Perch FAO GLOBEFISH Research Programme, Vol.84 Rome, FAO. 2006. p. 94. This report examines the international and regional trade of Nile perch from the Lake Victoria area. It mainly focuses on the production and product types, on international markets in the EU, Africa, Australia, Japan, and the Americas. It is quite a difficult moment for Nile perch on the world market. The only market left for Nile perch is the EU market, where the species is well established since a long time. The study also gives some recommendations for future promotion of Nile perch in the world market. All rights reserved.
