The Japanese Seafood Market 2015
By IntraFish Media AS, Norway
With the world’s sixth largest EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone),
Japan had been the largest fishing nation for 17 years (19721988). After the total domestic landing hit a peak of 128 million
metric tons in 1984, Japan’s catches have continuously declined
to only 37.3 million metric tons in 2014. The country is expected
to see a further decrease in wild catches due to the effects of
overfishing and an ageing fishing workforce and vessels.
This report gives an overview of the major trends affecting
the Japanese seafood market, analysis of the key species,
importing regions, volume and prices as well as the top
20 importers.

Trade in Quinoa: Impact on the Welfare of Peruvian
Communities
International Trade Centre (ITC), 11 May 2016
Buying quinoa contributes to better livelihoods for rural
Peruvian communities, according to a new ITC study. The study
provides much-needed data on the impact of changing market
prices on the welfare of rural households in the altiplano of
Peru. The findings inform policymakers about the benefits of
the trade and challenges still facing smallholders, following
conflicting media reports on the impact of higher quinoa
prices.
Among the Aid-for-Trade policy recommendations are
incentives for better storage facilities, establishment of
markets for ecosystem services and support for market
differentiation strategies for biodiverse, organic quinoa
produced by smallholders.

Egypt: Company Perspectives – An ITC Series on Non-Tariff
Measures
International Trade Centre (ITC), 10 May 2016
Egypt has much to gain from increased transparency of
regulations, procedures, and better-defined rules of origin,
according to the ITC survey on non-tariff measures in 2011.
Nearly 40% of surveyed companies in Egypt are affected by
regulatory and procedural trade obstacles. Agri-food exporters
struggle with strict tolerance limits in Europe and labelling
requirements in Arab States. Rules of origin and certification
stand out as challenges for manufacturing exporters;
administrative and infrastructural challenges increase
compliance difficulties. For importers, conformity assessments,
charges and taxes top the list of challenges. The results underline
the need to better implement existing trade agreements for
competitiveness and regional integration.
