Introduction
Quick review of tilapiaExplosion in tilapia tradeThe US and International MarketsValue added productsOpportunities to expand markets
Tilapia productionCurrently second in volume to carpsPrediction: Tilapia will become most
important aquaculture crop in this centuryWidest demand, no religious/cultural
concerns, few environmental concernsMore genetic potentialGreatest variety of production systems
World Tilapia Production of 1,501,232 mt in 2003

Major Tilapia Producers in International Trade
China - whole frozen, IQF filletsEcuador - fresh filletsTaiwan - whole, IQF, sashimiSouth & Central America - fresh filletsZimbabwe - Fresh filletsIndonesia - IQF filletsThailand - IQF fillets
Current EU Market Trends
Increase in demand for all forms of tilapia
Demand increase will be greatest for fresh fillets
Prices have been constant for several years and will remain stable, will not increase with inflation
African MarketsLocal production and consumptionMajority stays in producing householdEgypt has market development, but little processing capacityRest of Africa needs more processing
Impacts of “Industrial” Production of Tilapia
Spin-off some products into local markets
Availability of prepared feedsAvailability of domesticated stocksPossibility of more production
cooperatives
Changes and Predictions
Production will be 75% Oreochromis niloticus, 20% Red strains, O. aureus and O. mossambicus mostly for hybridization
Changes and Predictions
Production will be 50% intensive ponds, 30% cages, 10% intensive recirculating and tank systems, 10 % other
Predictions for Value-added products
Processing and "value-adding" will intensify in producing countries
Sashimi
IQF Fillets
Breaded tilapia products
Fried tilapia skins
Smoked products
Changes and PredictionsMore “organic” forms
Reduction in MT for sex reversal
Changes and PredictionsWorld tilapia production (1,265,780
mt in 2000, FAO) reached 1,500,000 mt in 2003 and 2,000,000 mt by 2010
2003 sales over $2 billion 2010 sales over $4 billion

Tilapia production in the Americas
Strain evaluations For saline waters - Hybrid red strains are
preferred For cage and pond culture Chitralada strain of O.
niloticus originally from Thailand and further developed in Brasil.
The GIFT strain of O. niloticus, originally developed in Philippines is most common in Philippines and China
