cent and 9 per cent respectively. Average sector growth over the entire period was 58 per cent. But processing activities performed better, growing by 76 per cent during the period compared to marine catch fishing, which grew by 52 per cent. However, growth rates for more recent years show that overall sector growth declined from 28 per cent in 2001-2002 to a negative 0.6 per cent in 2003-2004, with fish Table 8.1: GDP for Selected Sectors (Rf in million, 1998 constant prices) 1995 2000 2004 % Growth % % % Sector Value Share Value Share Value Share 1995-2004 Fishing 335 8 381 6 508 6 52 Fish preparation 116 3 132 2 204 2 76 Sub-total fisheries 451 11 513 8 713 9 58 Tourism 1,474 35 2,094 33 2,689 33 82 Transport & communication 478 11 919 14 1,262 15 164 Government administration 400 10 751 12 1,029 13 158 Other sectors 918 22 1,555 25 1,775 22 93 Total 4,172 100 6,346 100 8,180 100 96 Source: Ministry of Planning & National Development Note: Estimated using production approach Graph 1: GDP in million by Selected Sectors 1995 - 2004 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 Fisheries Tourism Transport & Communication Government administration Other sectors 500 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Year 121
processing under-performing more than fishing (see Table 8.2 and Graph above). These annual changes reflect mostly fluctuations in international prices gained on exported fish products, where prices in 2002 were high and the landing also higher than for 2003 and 2004. However, the main trend indicates a declining contribution of fisheries to the national economy. Activities such as vessel building and repair and maintenance ought to be included in sector data but these are statistically recorded under manufacturing. Compared to the most dynamic sectors such as transport and communication, with a period growth rate of 154 per cent, government administration (162 per cent), and tourism (82 per cent), the fishery sector is not fulfilling its potential, although exports have held reasonably well. Table 8.2: Sector Growth Rates 2001-2004 Sector %Growth 2001-02 %Growth 2002-03 %Growth 2003-04 Fishing 22.9 0.7 2.0 Fish processing 43.2 -3.7 0.1 Sub-total fisheries 28.4 -0.6 1.5 The December 2004 tsunami resulted in some damage to the fishery sector although recovery was impressively rapid. Over 100 fishing vessels in the medium size range and 20 artisanal fishing vessels are reported lost or seriously damaged. An additional 22 vessels are out of commission due to damage to engine and fishing gear. With an average crew of eight per vessel, this amounted to direct income loss for about 1,100 fishermen. Fishery infrastructure such as harbours and safe anchorage, and boat sheds was also damaged on several islands. Traditional fish processors, mainly women, were also affected. According to the estimates prepared by MFAMR, the total cost for repair and rehabilitation of the damage to the fishery sector was around Rf. 321 million (or US$25 million). These damage assessments and cost estimates cover repair and/or replacement of fishing vessels, engines, fishing gear and accessories, fish processing equipment and infrastructure (see Table 8.3). But, recovery has been fast as the landings of the third quarter of 2005 were higher than for 2004. A. TRADE PATTERNS Unlike tourism where the government is active in promoting FDI and in marketing the Maldives as a destination, the fishery sector has seen virtually no FDI and attracts relatively little government support. In addition to fishermen carrying out fishing as a 122
