The Middle East and Africa Aquaculture Market Growth Opportunities

The present study on the Middle East and African aquaculture market analyzes the current and future growth potential of various aquaculture species produced at both regional and country levels. The study covers a detailed analysis of the key markets—Egypt, the Middle East, and the Rest of Africa. The aquaculture market in Egypt is the largest in Africa and is driven by the booming Tilapia production. Egyptian farmers prefer to cultivate the Nile tilapia because of its low production cost, tolerance to high-density production methods, fast growth rates, and disease resistance. This research service provides qualitative and quantitative analysis of key aquaculture species, such as finfish, mollusks, and crustaceans. As the population grows, the demand for protein also increases. Aquaculture is a sustainable means to supply and feed the global population with environment-friendly protein products. Rising income levels and increasing urbanization will drive this demand further. Author: Akheela Dhiman
