# Aquaculture, a driver of transformation

> The article says global aquaculture produced a record 103 million tonnes of aquatic animals in 2024, surpassing capture fisheries for the first time, and is projected to reach 119 million tonnes by 2034. It argues that Peru’s aquaculture growth is held back by high production costs, infrastructure and logistics gaps, and slow project approvals, and calls for a more supportive national policy.
