In the first half of 2018

Fisheries and avicultural decreased while the slaughtered livestock remained at the same level of 2017

In the first six months of 2018, the egg production stood at 8.0 million units, decreasing by 32.7% year-on-year.

In the same period, the poultry meat totalled 1,591.9 tonnes, decreasing by 2.6% compared to the same period of 2017.

Between January and June 2018, the weight of the slaughtered livestock reached 383.5 tonnes, remaining unchanged year-on-year.

The data on landed catch show a 37.6% decrease in volume in the first six months of 2017 and a 25.3% decrease in first sale receipts, compared to the same period of last year.

This drop was mainly driven by the decrease in the catch of tuna and tuna-like species (-47.3% in volume and -39.6% in first sale receipts). The catch of black scabbardfish decreased by 18.1% year-on year, and the first sale receipts generated by this species fell by 6.9%.
