There is a gradual increasing trend of the average annual per capita consumption of fisheries and aquaculture products from 4.9 kg/year in 2010 to 5.3 kg/year in 2016. Today fisheries (including capture fisheries and aquatic organisms farming) take an important place in the Albanian economy, even though the contribution of the sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is relatively low (0.3%). The sector has a good growth potential to be exploited through formulation and adoption of appropriate policies sustained by efficient investments.
