foodmate 2022-12-14

On December 8, 2022, the Afghan fisheries minister announced in response to questions from lawmakers in parliament that the quota for red tuna in the 2023 fishing season will increase to 2,023 tons, compared to 1,650 tons in 2022, Algerian news agency reported. This decision was taken at the most recent meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, held in Grapetooth in November.

 
The output of the Afghan fishery in 2021 was 97,500 tons, and will reach 116,000 tons in 2022, an increase of 19%. Per capita consumption in Afghanistan increased from 2.93 kg in 2021 to 3.26 kg in 2022. At present, due to the old equipment of fishing vessels and equipment, the depletion of offshore fishery resources, the output of Afghan fisheries is low and the price is high.
 
The Afghan fisheries minister said that the government is taking measures to increase investment in fisheries, improve fishing capacity in the open sea, establish fishing cooperatives, strengthen the role of fishery associations, establish market supervision mechanisms, eliminate monopolies on certain seafood, and strive to increase fishery production to meet domestic market demand.
