Comparative analysis of Türkiye's competitiveness with major countries in fisheries exports

In the study, the export competitiveness of the 10 countries that export the most fisheries products in the world and Türkiye was analyzed using the Normalized Revealed Comparative Advantages (NRCA) method. The 42 fisheries products included in the analysis are subject to a 5-digit classification in the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) revision 3 category. The analysis results show that the countries with the highest competitiveness in fisheries products among 11 countries are China, Norway, Ecuador, Chile and Sweden. The country with the lowest competitive power is Türkiye. In this context, for Türkiye to increase its competitive power in the fishing sector, it needs to use technology actively in this field, implement environmentally friendly policies to increase the population of fishing products, and take precautions against marine pollution (especially mucilage problems, etc.).
