Is aquaculture the answer to food security?

"Food for every ones table and every homes"




From foresight - aquaculture in Malaysia


Aquaculture seems to be the answer to the growing food requirements of Malaysia.    The catch in the natural surroundings which amount to 1.4 billion kg of fish has resulted in overfishing.   While the population of Malaysia continues to grow, the production from regular fishing has been steady.

The answer would seem to be from aquaculture.

Philippines exported $1.426 billion worth of fishery products - lags other ASEAN neighbors

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

Rizal Philippines   | September 15  2014



From UAP  Seafood and aquaculture exports

Philippines exported a total of $1.426 million worth of seafood products and most of these were from processed tuna worth $632.00

Despite being an archipelago and with large EEZ and coastline, ponds and brackish waters, the fisheries sector of the Philippines  underperforms and fisherfolks are among the poorest in the country?

Why is this so?
