Production
Over the past 20 years Chile has become an important seafood exporting country to worldwide markets.
According to projections by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, an additional 30 million tons of aquaculture products will be needed for human consumption over the next decade.
Strong population growth is expected in the coming years, which makes responsible and organized aquaculture production a principal source of food and economic growth for Chile.
IMPORTAN INFORMATION
The United Nations has estimated that the population of the world will reach 9 billion by 2050.
The FAO has projected that an additional 37 million tons of seafood products will be needed by 2030.
Traditional fishing is considered to have reached its maximum production.
Responsibly managed aquaculture represents the only way to fill that gap.
