Philippine Fisheries Profile 2020 5 The Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) formally presents this year’s Fisheries Profile – a testament to the resilience of the country’s fisheries sector as it braved and overcame the tides brought by the COVID 19 pandemic. For many years, this annual publication has given us a clear picture of the performance of the fisheries sector, helping us not only track its growth and development, but also zoom in on areas the we can further improve, specifically in aquaculture, municipal and commercial fisheries sectors. Let us remember, this year especially, that behind the statistical figures are our valiant fisherfolk and fisheries stakeholders whose contributions as pillars of food security deserve our recognition and gratitude. For the years to come, the DA-BFAR will continue its endeavor to raise the country’s fisheries performance by implementing relevant and timely programs and policies, and harnessing effective strategies and technologies towards a more resilient fisheries industry with prosperous fish farmers and fisherfolk. We thank the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-FNRI) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for their invaluable assistance in crafting this publication.

Philippine Fisheries Profile 2020 9 World Scenario: Philippine Fisheries In 2018, the Philippines ranked 8th among the top fish producing countries in the world with its total production of 4.35 million metric tons (MT) of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants (including seaweed). The production constituted 2.06% of the total world production of 211.87 million MT (FAO, 2020). In terms of aquaculture production, the country ranked 11th in the world with 826.01 thousand MT or 1.01% share of the total global aquaculture production of 82.10 million MT. The total value of the country’s aquaculture production including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks is USD 1.89 billion (FAO, 2020). The Philippines is also the world’s 4th largest producer of aquatic plants (including seaweed) having a total of 1.48 million MT or 4.56% of the total world production of 32.39 million MT (FAO, 2020). Contribution to National Economy, 2020 The fishing industry’s contribution to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 1.52% at both current and constant 2018 prices. This translates to PhP 273.41 billion at current prices and PhP 266.22 billion at constant prices of the country’s GDP of PhP 17,939 billion (current prices). The industry also shared 12.27% (PhP 224.19 billion) and 12.54% (PhP 223.20 billion) for both current and constant prices of the Gross Value Added (GVA) in Aquaculture, Hunting, Forestry, and Fishing Group of PhP 1,827.01 billion (current prices) and PhP 1,780.54 (constant prices), respectively (PSA, 2021). Livelihoods Municipal fisherfolk are engaged in different types of fisheries livelihood such as capture fishing, fish farming or aquaculture, fish processing, fish vending, gleaning, and other fishery-related jobs. Based on the Municipal Fisherfolk Registration System or FishR 2020 data, 1.03 million fisherfolk or nearly half (49.50%) of the total 2.08 million registered fisherfolk are engaged in capture fishing. HIGHLIGHTS
10 Philippine Fisheries Profile 2020 Performance of the Fishing Industry The total volume of fisheries production in the Philippines from January to December 2020 reached 4.40 million metric tons. The 2020 fisheries production also showed a 0.33% decrease from the 2019 production of 4.42 million MT. The 2020 production value of PhP 273.49 billion at current prices is 2.90% lower than the previous year’s production value of PhP 281.65 billion. The annual performance of the fisheries industry was attributed to the production of the (1) aquaculture, (2) municipal capture fisheries, and (3) commercial capture fisheries. Compared with the previous year’s performance, the aquaculture subsector posted a decline of 1.5% or 35,428 MT in production, followed by the municipal capture fisheries sub-sector with a decline of 2.04% (22,955 MT). Inversely, the increase in the commercial capture fisheries sub-sector of 4.7% (43,754 MT) made up for the decline in production of the other sub-sectors. These figures translate to a 0.33% decrease in total annual fish production. At the regional level, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) registered the highest production among all regions with its 21.7% or 954,060.15 MT share to the total fisheries production, where seaweed was the major commodity produced. Region IX and MIMAROPA, on the other hand, shared 13.3% and 10.8%, respectively. In terms of value, the top three (3) contributors were Region III (PhP 44.99 billion), Region VI (PhP 28.94 billion), and Region XII (PhP 24.25 billion).
Philippine Fisheries Profile 2020 11 Fisheries Export and Import Performance Exports 2020 Foreign trade performance of the fishery industry in 2020 registered a net surplus of USD 412.53 million - total export value of USD 1.00 billion and import value of USD 592.36 million. In terms of volume, fisheries export decreased by 1.04% from 264,254 MT in 2019 to 261,495.23 MT in 2020. The three major export commodities (tuna, seaweed, shrimp/prawn) combined for 68.22% (178,395 MT) of the total export volume (261,495.23 MT) and 69.57% (USD 699.2 million) of the total export value of USD 1.01 billion in 2020. Tuna remained as the top export commodity with a collective volume of 134,412 MT for fresh/chilled/frozen, smoked/dried, and canned tuna products valued at USD 481 million. Canned tuna, though, constituted the bulk of tuna products being exported. In general, volume of exported tuna increased by 12% in terms of volume and 0.6% in value. Seaweed came second on export value sharing 22% to the total export earnings in 2019. It went up to USD 250 million from USD 207 million (13%) in 2018. Carrageenan remained as the major export product comprising 94% of the total seaweed export value. The USA, China, Spain, Russia, and Belgium were the major markets for the Philippine seaweed products. Shrimp/Prawn ranked fourth with a total contribution of USD 20.31 million to the total export value, lower than previous year’s export earnings of USD 42 million. Most of the shrimps/prawns are exported in fresh/chilled/frozen form with a total value of USD 18 million or 90% of the total shrimp/prawn exports. Export of shrimp/ prawn in terms of volume and value has decreased by 5% from last year. Japan, USA, and South Korea remained to be among the major destinations of shrimp/ prawn products. Other major fishery exports such as crabs/crab fats, octopus, grouper, cuttlefish/ squid, ornamental fish, roundscad, and sea cucumber constituted 12% or USD 118.8 million of the total USD 1,004 million export revenues. Other commodities accounted for the remaining 20% of the total export value/earnings. In terms of share in value, the major destinations of Philippine fish and fishery export products were USA (20.6%), Japan(13%), Germany (9.1%), China( 6.6%), Spain, (5.5%), Italy (5.3%), United Kingdom, (4.9%) Netherlands, (3.9%), South Korea( 2.4%), Vietnam (2.3%), and other countries (13.7%).
