Key Market Indicators
Turkmenistan's fish production is projected to remain stable, reaching around 160 metric tons by 2028, maintaining the same level as in 2023. This status quo comes despite a significant increase in supply, which has grown by approximately 6% annually since 1997. Contrastingly, fish consumption in Turkmenistan is on a steep decline. It is expected to plummet to 30 metric tons by 2028, down from 860 metric tons in 2023. This marks an average annual decrease of nearly 46%. Notably, since 2019, the nation's fish demand has been shrinking at a rate of about 12% per year. In 2023, Turkmenistan ranked 157th globally in fish consumption, with Swaziland slightly ahead at 860 metric tons. Leading the world in this category are Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand, occupying the second, third, and fourth positions, respectively.
