46% of global seafood exports in 2022, up from 42% in 2012. Notably, their share of the higher-value processed segment is higher than that of unprocessed exports, at 53% compared with 40%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis highlights the success of developing countries in adding value to their seafood exports,\u201d says David Vivas Eugui, in charge of UN Trade and Development\u2019s ocean and circular economy section.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A new era of South-South trade<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This growth in South-South trade in fisheries and aquaculture contrasts with traditional trade patterns, in which developing countries primarily export to advanced markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis shift signifies a new era where developing countries are increasingly trading with each other,\u201d Mr. Vivas Eugui says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">South-South trade, Mr. Vivas Eugui says, allows developing countries to retain more economic benefits locally, create jobs and foster innovation in both food and non-food marine-based products. In the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, it also improves food security and increases access to protein-rich foods, particularly for coastal populations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By trading more with each other, developing countries can add value to their products while enhancing quality or processing before export.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr. Vivas Eugui says this not only boosts local industries but also strengthens their capacity to compete internationally, including in advanced markets.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Competitive advantage of developing countries<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UN Trade and Development\u2019s Revealed Comparative Advantage analysis measures a country&#8217;s export performance relative to its global trade. It reveals that many developing countries have a comparative edge in various marine species and by-products. Examples include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Mozambique<\/strong>\u00a0excels in exporting rock lobsters and other sea crawfish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Argentina<\/strong>\u00a0is renowned for frozen hake, prized globally for its firm texture and mild flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Morocco<\/strong>\u00a0stands out with processed sardines, benefiting from rich marine biodiversity and sustainable fishing practices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peru<\/strong>\u00a0thrives in exporting prepared or preserved anchovies, tapping into the abundant, nutrient-rich fish stocks of the Humboldt Current.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These advantages allow these countries to capitalize on specific markets, driving economic growth and diversifying exports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, fisheries and aquaculture are linked to the creative economy, with chefs in many developing countries expressing their creativity through the use of local species and rich, biodiverse flavours.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Climate change, overfishing and non-tariff measures pose big challenges<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the promising growth, the marine fisheries and aquaculture sector faces several challenges. Overfishing, harmful subsidies and climate change pose significant threats to sustainability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overfished stocks have tripled since 1974, with over one third of the world\u2019s assessed fisheries currently overfished. Climate change exacerbates these issues, affecting sea temperatures and ecosystems, threatening both the environment and the livelihoods dependent on these resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trade barriers, particularly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/topic\/trade-analysis\/non-tariff-measures\">non-tariff measures (NTMs)<\/a>, also hinder the growth. NTMs are rules and regulations, other than tariffs, that countries use to control the amount and types of products entering their markets. They include requirements for food safety and quality standards, which can be costly for exporters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/topic\/trade-agreements\/global-system-of-trade-preferences\">Global System of Trade Preferences among Developing Countries (GSTP<\/a>) is an agreement among developing countries to promote trade by offering preferential treatment in tariffs and other trade barriers. UN Trade and Development serves as the secretariat for this unique agreement on South-South trade and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite lower tariffs among GSTP members, the prevalence of NTMs continues to pose obstacles to trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15493\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1220\" height=\"1422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels.png 1220w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels-879x1024.png 879w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fisheries-trade-hurdles-sanitary-measures-hit-food-technical-barriers-affect-vessels-768x895.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1220px) 100vw, 1220px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For instance, sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT) significantly increase compliance costs and restrict market access. They account for about 65% of all NTMs faced by exporters (50% for SPS and 15% for TBT). For imports, SPS measures affect 93% of import relationships for fish and fish products, while TBTs affect 82%.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The GSTP\u2019s potential as a platform for change<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2022, GSTP members accounted for more than 60% of developing countries\u2019 total exports in the sector, illustrating the agreement\u2019s vital role in fostering South-South trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With 42 members across Africa, Asia and Latin America, the GSTP covers 4 billion people, offering vast potential and diverse markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt provides a unique platform for addressing these challenges by fostering cooperation among developing countries,\u201d says Chantal Line Carpentier, head of UN Trade and Development\u2019s trade, environment, climate change and sustainable development branch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Harmonizing and reducing NTMs through the GSTP can make it easier for developing countries to access regional and global markets, thus helping them integrate into global value chains and preparing their businesses for international competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ms. Carpentier adds that the GSTP also allows participants to leverage their strengths in specific marine products, fostering a diversified and resilient trade environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/news\/decades-old-south-south-trade-deal-offers-new-hope-sustainable-future\">UN Trade and Development calls for revitalizing the GSTP<\/a>\u00a0to unlock further potential in South-South trade across many sectors, which could increase trade flows, improve food security and
