Fishery and Aquaculture Country Profile for Uganda
- aquatic species caught by country or area, by species items, by
FAO major fishing areas, and year, for all commercial, industrial,
recreational and subsistence purposes. The harvest from mariculture,
aquaculture and other kinds of fish farming is also included.
The
Uganda Fish Processors
and Exporters Association (UFPEA) is the voice of Uganda's fish
processing industry. Although membership is voluntary, all fish
factories in the country have joined to form this association. Due to
the dynamic performance of this new industrial sector, which is just 10
years old, the European Union granted Uganda "harmonized" country status
in October 2000. UFPEA played a key role in achieving this
harmonization.
