Aquaculture production (fish farming, oyster farming, mussel farming, seaweed farming and crocodile farming) of Senegal was 1,108 tons in 2018, APA learned Tuesday from the Directorate of Forecasting and Economic Studies (DPEE).

Exports of aquatic products from Vietnam are estimated at $ 372 million in February, bringing them to $ 1.11 billion in two months, up 4.4% year-on-year, according to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR).

The 2018 Finance Law has introduced fiscal measures dedicated exclusively to the aquaculture sector. This is the exemption from VAT on major aquaculture inputs in addition to the extension of the measure on the customs duties reduction on the feed.
With a potential production estimated at more than 380,000 tons generated by only three completed aquaculture plans, aquaculture is a priority sector in the Halieutis strategy. It is even a growth driver for the fisheries sector.

In October each year the Spanish Association of Wholesalers, Importers, Manufacturers and Exporters of Fish products and Aquaculture (Conxemar) organizes the International Frozen Seafood Exhibition in Vigo, Spain.

Back to back with this event Conxemar jointly holds an international conference together with FAO. This year the conference was dedicated to cephalopods, a group of molluscs that includes squids, cuttlefishes, and octopus. The conference also provides the backdrop for various side events such as the Vigo dialogue on decent work in fisheries and aquaculture, and the meeting of the Fish Info Network (FIN).
