The fisheries sector is an essential aspect of the world economy sector in terms of employment, food security, enterprise development, foreign exchange earnings, and important in terms of the livelihoods of many rural people and nutrition. Over 10% of the world population are economically dependent on fisheries as a source of employment, of which the majority are females. In Nigeria, over 764,615 people are reportedly engaged in the fisheries sector. The fisheries sector contributed 0.5% to the national GDP in 2015. The Nigerian fisheries sector is dependent on the artisanal fishers that produce over 68% of the nation’s total domestic production. It is an indication that this sector is not well utilized and developed. Nigeria is the world’s fourth-largest importer of fish products in terms of volume. Nigeria total fish imports of about $1.2 billion and exports valued at $284,390 million in 2013, make Nigeria a net importer of fishery products. In 2019, a shortfall in fish supply of about 1.3 million metric tons was met through imports. Relevant figures indicated that the value of fish imports keeps increasing which has been attributed to the increasing growth rate of the Nigerian population. From 2006 – 2010, the NBS reports showed that fish was the second major food commodity with the highest imports bills. The implication on importation to meet the national fish need ranges from health to socioeconomic impacts. The lack of attention in the fisheries sector is costing Nigeria the economic benefits this sector provides.

Nijerya Balıkçılık Sektörünün Ekonomik Analizi: Bir İncelemesi

Öz

Balıkçılık sektörü, istihdam, gıda güvenliği, işletme geliştirme, döviz kazancı açısından dünya ekonomisi sektörünün önemli bir yönüdür ve birçok kırsal insanın geçim kaynakları ve beslenme açısından önemlidir. Dünya nüfusunun %10'undan fazlası ve çoğunluğu kadınların oluşturduğu bir istihdam kaynağı olarak balıkçılığa ekonomik olarak bağımlıdır. Nijerya'da 764.615’ten fazla kişinin balıkçılık sektöründe çalıştığı bildirilmektedir. Balıkçılık sektörü, 2015 yılında ulusal GSYİH'ye %0,5 oranında katkıda bulunmuştur. Nijerya balıkçılık sektörü, ülkenin toplam yerli üretiminin %68'inden fazlasını üreten zanaatkar balıkçılara bağımlıdır. Bu sektörün yeterince kullanılmadığının ve gelişmediğinin bir göstergesidir. Nijerya, hacim bakımından dünyanın dördüncü en büyük balık ürünleri ithalatçısıdır. Nijerya'nın toplam balık ithalatı yaklaşık 1,2 milyar dolar ve 2013 yılında 284.390 milyon dolar değerinde ihracat, Nijerya'yı net su ürünleri ithalatçısı yapmaktadır. 2019 yılında yaklaşık 1,3 milyon mt balık arz açığı ithalat yoluyla karşılandı. İlgili rakamlar, balık ithalatının değerinin artmaya devam ettiğini gösterdi, bu, Nijerya nüfusunun artan büyüme hızına bağlandı. 2006 – 2010 yılları arasında NBS raporları, balığın en yüksek ithalat faturalarına sahip ikinci büyük gıda ürünü olduğunu gösterdi. Ulusal balık ihtiyacını karşılamak için ithalatın etkisi sağlıktan sosyoekonomik etkilere kadar uzanmaktadır. Balıkçılık sektöründeki ilgi eksikliği, Nijerya'ya bu sektörün sağladığı ekonomik faydalara mal olmaktadır.
