Summary and Conclusion
Countries all over the world devote great attention to secure food to their
nations in every possible way. Due to the high rate of population growth, an increasing interest in fisheries development started to prevail all over the world as part of the protein diet. It is worth noting that the economic value of fisheries emerges from being one of the renewable natural resources, which represents an economic activity that can generate a rewarding economic revenue. In Yemen, Fisheries Sector is one of the sectors constituting the national economy. As such, its development is considered part of the comprehensive economic development process. It is worth noting that fisheries development in Yemen encounters several obstacles and difficulties that should be overcome in order to increase per capita share and fish exports. Despite achieving self-sufficiency in fish, there exists no specific food security strategy. Per capita share of fish, which amounted to 9 kg/annum in 2004, is considered low compared to world per capita share of fish that amounted to 16.2 kg/year. Moreover, fish sector’s contribution to GDP is still low as it reached about 1.5% in 2004. Based on that, the study focused on investigating the economic possibilities for developing Yemen’s fish wealth through a set of defined goals that can help address the study problem and develop the production activity in the field of fisheries. These goals include:
•Studying the current situation of fisheries sector in Yemen through
investigating the evolution of fish production, consumption and exports,
with special reference to the role of processing and investment in the
development of fish wealth, in addition to fish labor and different fishing
units.
•Estimating the obstacles and problems obstructing fishermen in the studied sample and their suggestions for solving them.
•Estimating the production and economic efficiency of Fisheries Sector according to region, fishing method, and engine power of fishing boats.
•Assessing both surplus production and optimum production using Schaefer Model and Nerlove’s Partial Adjustment Model
•Investigating domestic marketin in Yemen by estimating intra-governmental fish transportation model.
•Economic evaluation of fish production in Yemen.
•A feasibility study of fish farming project proposal.
•Studying foreign marketing of Yemen’s fish production and estimating the competitive advantage of Yemen’s fish exports in some Arabian and International markets.
•Estimating the economic surplus of Yemen’s fish exports via estimating the partial equilibrium model.
To achieve these objectives, the study depended on secondary data obtained from different sources such as the Ministry of Fisheries, the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development, the FAO, the Academy of Scientific Research in Cairo., the Internet, and different Universities, in addition to primary data collected by sampling in three coastal regions, these are El-Hodeidah, Hadramout, and Aden.
The study consists of six chapters in addition to an introduction, an Arabic summary, and an English summary. Chapter one comprises a review of literature and the theoretical framework. Chapter two of the study focuses on the current situation of Fisheries Sector based on the fishing methods, fishing sources, production sectors, fishing regions and different fish kinds. It presents also fish consumption of both shallow and deepwater fish and fish prices, with special reference to processing and investment and the role they play in fish wealth development. In addition, chapter two investigates the current situation and geographic distribution of Yemeni fish exports, and investigates the factors leading to their instability. The main findings of chapter two reveal that:
•The share of traditional fishing in total fish production in Yemen is estimated at 98.5%, whereas the share of commercial fishing is estimated at 1.5% as an average of the period 1990-•The share of Hodeidah governorates in total fish production in Yemen is estimated at 32.2%, followed by Hadramout governorates, Al-Mahara and
Aden which shares are estimated at 22.42%, 18.76% and 15.80% as averages of the period 1990-2005.
•The number of fishing boats has been estimated at some 16.9 thousand in 2004, most of which are concentrated in Hadramout region representing
38.5% of the total fishing boats.
•In 2004, the number of fish projects increased by 50% compared to 2003.
•The number of fishing boats factories increased to reach 8 factories in 2004 compared to only 4 factories in 1990. In addition, the daily production capacity of ice increased to reach more than 1000 tons in 2004.
•The geographic concentration coefficient (Geni-Herchman) for fresh fish, frozen fish, shrimps and squid (calamari) was estimated at 74.4, 37.9, 81.8, and 64.2 respectively in 2003 compared to 95.0, 50.7, 34.9, and 79.5
respectively in 1999.
Chapter three presents and describes the study sample, sample selection, the social and economic properties of sample individuals, and the problems
facing them. Findings reveal that:
•About 52% and 69.6% of the sample individuals in Hodeidahh and Hadramout governorates depend on gasoline as a fuel for their boats, whereas 69.9% of the sample individuals in Aden governorate depend on
diesel.
•About 94.5% of the fishing boats of 150 horsepower or more depend on gasoline, whereas 88.4% and 60.8% of the fishing boats operate with 40-75
and 75-150 horsepower respectively.
•About 59%, 77.2% and 56% of the sample individuals in Hodeidahh, Hadramout and Aden governorates respectively depend on fiberglass boats, whereas the remaining sample individuals depend on Hori Boats for fishing.
