Tilapia Production and Trade with a Focus on India Tilapia production and trade with a focus on India WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy- making and sector management in aquaculture May 2020 Preparation of this factsheet This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of the growth potential of tilapia farming in India. Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO, UN Comtrade 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 dataset. 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 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/. Unless noted otherwise, country grouping in this factsheet follows the United Nations M49 standard; under which India is a country in Asia and the sub-region of Southern Asia. The preparation of the factsheet has benefited from tables and charts generated by various World Aquaculture Performance Indicator (WAPI) modules. Most of these data analysis tools are for FAO internal use, yet some of them are available for test use. Visit the WAPI webpage for more information about WAPI information and knowledge products. The factsheet was prepared by Junning Cai and Giulia Galli. Valuable comments and suggestions provided by Randall Brummett, Victoria Chomo, Weimin Miao, Tipparat Pongthanapanich, Martinus Van der Knaap and Weiwei Wang are acknowledged. The validity and relevance of the results depend on the quality (in terms of timeliness and accuracy) of the underlying data and statistics used in the analyses. Errors could also occur in the analyses despite our efforts to minimize them. Simple text are provided to help users understand the tables and charts.

  • Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor 2019
    6 Regional Trade Integration in Eastern and Southern Africa Albert Makochekanwa and Greenwell Matchaya Chapter 6 - Regional Trade Integration in Eastern and Southern Africa Introduction Regional integration is often seen as a powerful development strategy that provides a large parallel market for the development of new industries and minimizes external shocks through increased national income and bargaining power (Balassa 1961). At regional and subregional levels, economic cooperation has been one of the fundamental policy options for many developing countries in the last three decades (Jones 2002). There is consensus among policy makers, researchers, and political leaders that Africa could develop faster through regional integration. The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA, 2017) has suggested that regional integration and trading blocs are critical for African nations to achieve sustainable development and increase their participation in the global economy. In addition, UNECA has asserted that regional integration promotes economic growth and industrialization through fostering intraregional trade, infrastructure, and investment (McCarthy 1996). Cooperation of countries provides a huge market for new industrial development which reduces external vulnerability through increasing bargaining power and, in turn, improves standards of living. Regional trade cooperation of countries is regarded by UNECA as a key strategy to confront globalization challenges. There is, therefore, a need to monitor and evaluate regional integration processes. This study documents the experiences of regional trade arrangements in the eastern and southern Africa (ESA) region, notably the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), for the periods 1960–1993 and 1994–2018. It also analyzes indicators of trade flows and trade costs, to see whether there was progress in terms of trade flow expansion and cost reduction.

Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. Professor D. Adetoye Department of Political Science, Ekiti state University. Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. ABSTRACT In order to improve intra-continental trade in Africa Union (AU) introduced the African Continental Force Trade Agreement Area (AFCTFA) to create single continental market for the free movement of goods and services within the African Continent. AU is progressively eliminating tariffs as well as non-tariff barrier to African trade through the AFCFTA which will make it easier for African businesses to trade within the continent and benefit from growing African market. Nigeria’s position on the AFCFTA remains that African economic and social integration must be rules-based and with built-in safeguard against injurious practices. AFCFTA is an important part of the AU – 2063 Agenda to promote economic and social integration on the continent. Agreement comprises of the framework, the protocols for trade in goods and trade in services and the mechanism for dispute resolution. AFCFTA is to facilitate economic growth and diversification through preferential access to Africa’s market. The paper examines Nigeria’s stands which states that continental aspirations must compliment Nigeria’s national interest which includes not positioning it as a dumping ground for finished goods.

Abhishek’s research interests include India and Africa’s maritime cooperation in the Indian Ocean Region. He obtained his MPhil in African Studies from the Department of African Studies, University of Delhi, and his MA in Political Science, also from the University of Delhi.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. The African Continental Free Trade Area and its Implications for India-Africa Trade ABSTRACT The African countries are set to launch the African Continental Free Trade Area or AfCFTA, the biggest free trade agreement in the world since the World Trade Organization was created in the 1990s. When implemented, the AfCFTA is projected to increase intra-African trade by 52.3 percent by 2022, from 2010 levels. In turn, higher trade levels can facilitate economic growth, transform domestic economies, and help the countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper analyses the AfCFTA in the context of the continent’s long history of efforts at regional integration.
