Market Opportunities

• Sustainable Fisheries Emerges As The Biggest Business Opportunity
  In response to the growing demand for seafood, the fisheries industry has transitioned towards more sustainable practices, emphasizing the conservation, monitoring, and management of fisheries resources as pivotal business opportunities.

• Smart Technologies to Enhance Fishing Quality & Efficiency
  The emergence of digital technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics aids in improving fisheries production, cost efficiency, and enhancing the management of fisheries resources.

• Government Investment On Vessel Monitoring Systems
  In response to the increasing demand for seafood and as a measure to regulate fishing capacity against overfishing, the  Fisheries Agency, Ministry of Agriculture offers subsidies of up to NT$150,000 for the installation of vessel camera systems on tuna longline, bonito and tuna purse seine, squid, and saury fishing vessels.

• Leveraging AIS to Enhance Safety of Fishing Vessels
  To boost fishing vessel safety, the Fisheries Agency, Ministry of Agriculture plans to subsidize NT$20,000 for the installation of a portable Automatic Identification System (AIS) on fishing vessels with a capacity of 20 tons or less.

• Aquaculture Industry Embraces Smart Solutions
  As aquaculture\'s role grows in fisheries, Taiwan is introducing intelligent technology for efficient fish farming. The AI-driven smart transformation, integrating digitization, automation, IoT, and cloud management, aims to maximize productivity. Simultaneously, efforts to strengthen cold chain initiatives are underway to upgrade the fisheries industry.

• Government Promotion of Certification and Labeling of Aquatic Products
  Through initiatives like traceability verification, certification for quality Taiwanese aquatic products, and organic and processed items, we aim to boost trust in high-quality seafood. Supporting fish-eating education, we encourage people to choose local products, understand the fishing industry, and stimulate the domestic market.

• Aquatic Products: Eco-Friendly, Low Carbs and High Nutritional Value Protein 
  According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, increased fish consumption, especially from aquaculture, the fastest-growing global fish production system, offers a feed conversion ratio 7 to 15 times more efficient than other meat protein sources. This has the potential to reduce the demand for cultivating feed crops and alleviate pressure on natural ecosystems, addressing the food crisis.

• Aquaculture Products Is Taking the Lead 
  According to the 2020 Food and Agriculture Organization report, global aquaculture production hit a record 82.1 million tons in 2018. With consistent annual growth, aquaculture has contributed over $250 billion to the total sales value of global fisheries, exceeding 60% of the total production value.
