Aquaculture growth potential in Mexico

WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy-making and sector management in aquaculture

November 2019

Preparation of this factsheet

• This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of aquaculture growth potential in Mexico.

• Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO and other international or national organizations. The data and statistics, which were the most updated at the time when the factsheet was prepared, may differ from data and statistics used in other WAPI factsheets because of different data sources or different versions of the same datasets.

• The validity and relevance of the results depend on the quality (in terms of timeliness and accuracy) of the underlying data and statistics used in the analyses – see some remarks on the Mexican aquaculture statistics on Slide 7.

• Unless noted otherwise, country grouping in this factsheet follows the United Nations M49 standard.

• The preparation of the factsheet has benefited from tables and charts generated by various World Aquaculture Performance Indicator (WAPI) modules. Most of these data analysis tools are for FAO internal use, yet some of them are available for test use. Visit the WAPI webpage for more information about WAPI information and knowledge products.

• The factsheet was prepared by Junning Cai and Xiaowei Zhou. Valuable reviews provided by Giovanni Fiore Amaral and Giulia Galli are acknowledged.

Highlights (I)

• Geo-location, natural resources, population and incomeMexico is an upper-middle-income country in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with 125 million population in 2017 (expected to reach 141 million in 2030 and 155 million in 2050) and per capita GDP (USD 9 282 in 2017) lower than the world average yet higher than the LAC and Central American averages. Per capita measures of land area, inland water surface area, coastline length and renewable freshwater resources are all lower than the world average.

• Food security, nutrition and healthMexico’s per capita total (i.e. animal and vegetal) protein intake (87.6 g/day) in 2013 was higher than the world and LAC averages. Compared to the world/regional/sub-regional averages, the country underperformed in a few nutrition or health indicators, including prevalence of severe food insecurity (higher than the world average), percentage of children stunted (higher than the LAC average), and prevalence of obesity in the adult population (higher than Central American, LAC and world averages). The country’s 77.3 years of life expectancy at birth is higher than the world, LAC and Central American averages.

• Contribution of fish to food and nutritionMexico’s 7.6 percent fish share in animal protein intake 2013 (declined from 9.2 percent in 1993) was higher than the LAC average yet much lower than the world average. In 2013, 78 percent of the country’s food fish supply came from domestic production, and 91.2 percent of its food fish utilization went to domestic consumption. The country has changed from a net food fish exporting country to a net food fish importing country since the mid 2000s.

Highlights (II)

• Domestic fish market (fish consumption)The increase in Mexico’s total fish consumption between 1993 and 2013 was driven by both population growth and the increase in per capita fish consumption. The country’s 13.6 kg of per capita fish consumption in 2013 was higher than the Central American and LAC averages but lower than the world average. The 13.6 kg was composed of 77.4 percent of finfish (including 52.5 percent of marine fishes and 24.9 percent of freshwater & diadromous fishes) and 22.6 percent of shellfish (including 15.4 percent of crustaceans, 4.2 percent of shell molluscs (i.e. molluscs excluding cephalopods), and 3 percent of cephalopods).

• Fish tradeMexico’s fish export exceeded fish import by nearly USD 360 million in 2017, and the fish export price was higher the fish import price. Fish commodities accounted for around 0.3 percent of the country’s total export value during 2005–2017, whereas the fish share in total import value increased from 0.16 percent in 2005 to 0.22 percent in 2017.

• Fish exportThe 4 percent annual growth in Mexico’s fish export value between 2000 and 2017 was lower than the LAC average. The country’s fish export in 2017 (nearly USD 1.3 billion) was composed primarily of 41.5 percent of finfish and 54.6 percent of shellfish, including 35.94 percent of marine shrimps/prawns, 21.99 percent of “marine fishes not identified” and 13.07 percent of tunas/bonitos/billfishes.

• Fish importThe 11 percent annual growth in Mexico’s fish import value between 2000 and 2017 was higher than the LAC average. The country’s fish import in 2017 (USD 938 million) was composed of 77.5 percent of finfish (34.7 percent of marine fishes, 27.6 percent of freshwater fishes and 15.2 percent of diadromous fishes) and 20.7 percent of shellfish (14.4 percent crustaceans and 6.3 percent molluscs). Frozen catfish fillets and tilapia fillets were two largest commodities in Mexico’s seafood import 2017.

Highlights (III)

• Total fishery productionMexico’s total fishery production increased from 97 300 tonnes in 1950 to 1 880 688 tonnes in 2017 with dominating capture fisheries yet growing aquaculture production. Marine fishes accounted for 58.1 percent of its total fishery production in 2017.

• Capture fisheries productionMexico’ capture fisheries production increased from 1 349 763 tonnes in 2000 to 1 637 381 tonnes in 2017 (the 3rd largest in LAC). The country’s capture fisheries was conducted primarily in marine areas, whereas inland fisheries accounted for 10.3 of its capture fisheries production in 2017. Marine fishes accounted for 66.3 percent of the country’s capture fisheries production in 2017, including primarily herrings/sardines/anchovies (32 percent), tunas/bonitos/billfishes (12 percent), miscellaneous coastal fishes (9 percent) and miscellaneous pelagic fishes (6 percent).

• Aquaculture productionMexico’s aquaculture production increased from 53 918 tonnes in 2000 to 243 307 tonnes in 2017 (the 4th largest in LAC); the 9 percent annual growth rate during 2000–2017 was higher than that of LAC. The country’s aquaculture share in total fishery production increased from 3.8 percent in 2000 to 12.9 percent in 2017. Inland and marine/coastal aquaculture accounted for, respectively, 29.4 percent and 70.6 percent of its aquaculture production in 2017, which comprised primarily crustaceans (61.7 percent) and freshwater fishes (25.3 percent). Marine shrimps/prawns farming and tilapia culture accounted for, respectively, 62 percent and 23 percent of the country’s aquaculture production tonnage in 2017.

Highlights (IV)

• OutlookFollowing its recent trend, aquaculture growth in Mexico would be more than enough to meet the fish demand of its growing population from 2017 to 2030, but would be insufficient to cover the fish demand growth driven by both population growth and an increase in per capita fish consumption to reach the world average level (19.9 kg). Only with a 14.1 percent annual aquaculture growth during 2017–2030, could Mexico generate enough fish supply to satisfy the fish demand growth driven by both population growth and the higher per capita fish demand.

From the supply-side perspective, Mexico’s share in world aquaculture production 2017 was smaller than its share in world resource endowments, including land area, inland water surface area, coastline length, renewal water resources and population. This indicates that the country’s aquaculture has been underperformed given its resource endowments; or in other words, the country has a relatively large growth potential from the supply-side perspective.

• Bird’s eye view of existing/potential aquaculture areas/sites in MexicoThe National Commission of Aquaculture and Fisheries (CONAPESCA) has identified about 20 million hectares throughout the country as suitable potential areas for the farming of freshwater fishes , marine fishes, molluscs, or crustaceans (primarily shrimps/prawns).

Remarks on Mexican aquaculture statistical data

• With the national aquaculture statistics system in place for decades, Mexico is among a relatively small number of countries that report annual national data to FAO regularly and timely.

• To further improve the national data system, a few issues need to be addressed.• The definition used to separate aquaculture from capture fisheries, including the statistical

treatment of culture-based fisheries especially in inland areas, need to be standardized and adopted uniformly for sub-national data collection.

• The statistics scheme needs to cover the size of area (ha) used for aquaculture production.• Similarly, the production of seeds, destined separately for use in aquaculture grow-out and

in culture-based fisheries, need to be covered by the statistics scheme.• For tuna fattening, the data on the production (wild collection) of “seeds” needs to be

collected and the initial stocking weight needs to be subtracted from the final harvest of fattened tunas, in order to truly reflect the weight gain only during fattening process.

• The shift from tuna fattening to striped bass culture since 2017 by at least one major marine cage farm was not captured and reflected in the 2018 national data collection and reporting.

Mexico (1993–2013): • In 1993, Mexico’s 1 006 814 tonnes of

food fish supply from domestic sources was slightly higher than its 966 027 tonnes of total fish consumption, indicating that it was a net exporter of food fish at that time.

• Mexico has changed into a net importer of food fish since 2004. In 2013, the country used 233 936 tonnes of net food fish import to cover the shortage between its 1 382 006 tonnes of food fish supply from domestic sources and its 1 615 942 tonnes of total fish consumption.

• Total fish consumption growth (2.61 percent a year during 1993–2013) was higher than its population growth (1.48 percent a year), resulting in an increase in per capita fish consumption from 10.9 kg to 13.6 kg.

Mexico: The increase in total fish consumption from 966 thousand tonnes in 1993 to 1 616 thousand tonnes in 2013 was driven by both population growth (from 89 million to 119 million) and increase in per capita fish consumption (from 10.9 kg to 13.6 kg).

Mexico (2017–2030): Aquaculture growth potential from the demand-side perspective

• Given the 13.6 kg baseline per capita fish consumption, 1 915 769 tonnes of fish will be needed to satisfy the demand of Mexico’s 141 million population in2030, which is 218 923 tonnes higher than the 1 696 847 tonnes of baseline fish demand.

• Mexico’s aquaculture production increased from 143 747 tonnes in 2012 to 243 307 tonnes in 2017. Following the linear 5-year trend during 2012-2017,aquaculture production would reach 561 700 tonnes in 2030, which is 318 393 tonnes higher than the baseline level in 2017.

• The 318 393 tonnes of extra fish supply generated by the trend aquaculture growth, if entirely directed to the domestic market, would be more than enoughto cover the 218 923 tonnes of extra fish demand driven by population growth.

• However, the 318 393 tonnes of trend aquaculture growth would be insufficient to cover the 1 102 355 tonnes of extra fish demand in 2030 driven by bothpopulation growth and an increase in Mexico’ per capita fish demand to the world average (i.e. 19.87 kg), which would drive Mexico’s total fish demand in2030 to 2 799 201 tonnes; and the shortage is 783 962 thousand tonnes.

• As opposed to its 11.1 percent annual aquaculture growth during 2012-2017, aquaculture in Mexico would need to grow 14.1 percent during 2017–2030 inorder to generate enough fish supply to satisfy the fish demand growth driven by both population growth and an increase in its per capita fish demand to theworld average, assuming that all the fish supply growth is directed to the domestic market. 77

Mexico: Aquaculture growth potential from the supply-side perspective

• Mexico’s share in world aquaculture production tonnage in 2017 (0.22 percent) is:

• Smaller than its share of world total land area (including inland water surface) (1.46 percent).

• Smaller than its share of total world renewable water resources (0.84 percent).

• Smaller than its share in world population (1.65 percent).

• Mexico’s share in world inland aquaculture production in 2017 (0.14 percent) is smaller than its share of world total inland water surface area (0.46 percent) and its share of world total renewable freshwater sources (0.84 percent).

• Mexico’s share in world marine (including coastal) aquaculture production in 2017 (0.28 percent) is smaller than its share of world total coastline length (1.16 percent).

Mexico’s aquaculture has been underperformed given its resource endowments; or in other words, the country has a relatively large growth potential from the supply-side perspective.

Mexico: 20 million hectares with high potential for aquaculture

• The National Commission of Aquaculture and Fisheries (CONAPESCA) has identified about 20 million hectares throughout the country as suitable potential areas for the farming of freshwater fishes , marine fishes, molluscs, or crustaceans (primarily shrimps/prawns).

• Potential areas with high suitability for aquaculture have been found in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan, Guerrero, Mexico, Morelos, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Campeche , Tabasco, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi and Chihuahua.

• Particularly, large areas were detected with aquaculture suitability in several inner states (e.g. Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Hidalgo).

• There were 9 230 aquaculture farms in Mexico in 2015, including: • 4 623 tilapia farms• 1 834 trout farms• 1 447 shrimp farms• 353 catfish farms• 146 carp farms• 117 oyster farms• 710 farms for other species
