The challenges of the global fish food system FISH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SOURCES OF ANIMAL PROTEIN
It represents a low cost source of high quality protein, fatty acids and micronutrients that are essential for brain development in young children and part of a healthy diet.
As the global population increases to 9 billion by 2050, the global demand for fish will also increase The global fish food system will face considerable challenges including over-fishing, climate change and environmental problems such as pollution and ocean acidification as the need to provide more fish grows

Annual per capita fish consumption Global average 2010 17.2 kg

Tilapia comprises 75% of all aquaculture production in Egypt
Egyptian aquaculture and related activities provide
JOBS FOR OVER 144 000 PEOPLE

Domestic aquaculture provides 60% of Egypt’s total fish consumption, offering the cheapest source of animal protein
Tilapia farming ensures ONE FISH PER WEEK for every person in Egypt
IN EGYPT, A 10% INCREASE IN AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION WILL LEAD TO AN ADDITIONAL 10,000 JOBS IN AREAS WITH FEW ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
