Pakistan seafood exports: Quick scan of the EU market potential

Abstract

The Asian region is a major supplier of fish products to the EU market. The aquaculture sector in some Asian countries has become an important producer as well as exporter of white fish and shrimp, especially during the past five years. Within the Asian region CBI is currently developing an integrated programme for the seafood sector. For the development of this programme, a good understanding of the supply and de-mand side of the industry is necessary. In order to investigate whether it is advisable for CBI to invest in a programme to support further export growth of the seafood sectors of Pakistan and Sri Lanka, additional research is needed
