Executive Summary

United Arab Emirates declared its independence in 1971. It is a constitutional

federation of seven emirates; Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-

Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. Abu Dhabi is the capital of UAE.

According to the survey in 2011, the total population of UAE was 8.26 million

and four-fifth of the population consists of tourist. People from about 40 countries

live there. Pakistan and UAE has a very strong bond of relationship.

Geographically, both countries has joint by Arabian Sea. Despite or the

geographical importance Pakistan was the first country who accepted the UAE as

an independent nation back in 1971. Politically both countries have very strong

collaboration. UAE always funded in Pakistan for the development of it. While on

the other hand, Pakistan has been supporting in military developments by

providing different training to UAE army. Major imports of UAE are food and

live animals, machinery and transport equipment, crude material, animal and

vegetable oils, chemicals, mineral fuels and lubricants. And major import partners

are China, United State of America, Germany, Iran and Japan. While the major

export countries are Japan, India, South Korea, Iran and Thailand. Crude oil,

Natural gas, dried fish and dates are the main export. In 2010-2011, the total trade

between Pakistan and UAE was about $9 billion. The sea food export was

$197million. There is the huge demand of the sea food in UAE. Despite of this,

UAE has its own Sea but still the demand is so high that UAE has to export it

from neighboring countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Here we are exporting the Fresh prawns, because there is sufficient demand of it

and it is satisfactory from export point of view and encourages Pakistan to export

it.

United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates is a constitutional federation of seven emirates; Abu Dhabi,

Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah. The federation

was formally established on 2 December 1971.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) occupies an area of 83,600 sq km along the south-

eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Qatar lies to the west, Saudi Arabia to the south

and west, and Oman to the north and east. The total population of UAE is 8.26 million

(2011). The large population of the UAE consists of the tourist. Almost people from

more than 40 countries live there. The capital and the largest city of the federation, is

Abu Dhabi. But the Dubai is the most famous and it is consider as a business hub.

Four-fifths of the UAE is desert, yet it is a country of contrasting landscapes, from awe-

inspiring dunes to rich oases, precipitous rocky mountains to fertile plains.

The United Arab Emirates, one of the world's fastest growing tourist destinations, has

all the right ingredients for an unforgettable holiday, sun, sand, sea, sports, unbeatable

shopping, top-class hotels and restaurants, an intriguing traditional culture, a safe and

welcoming environment.

History of UAE

Originally the area was inhabited by a seafaring people who were converted to Islam in

the 7th century. Later, a dissident sect, the Carmathians, established a powerful

sheikdom, and its army conquered Mecca. After the sheikdom disintegrated, its people

became pirates. Threatening the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman early in the 19th

century, the pirates provoked the intervention of the British, who in 1820 enforced a

partial truce and in 1853 a permanent truce. Thus what had been called the Pirate Coast

was renamed the Trucial Coast. The British provided the nine Trucial states with

protection but did not formally administer them as a colony.

The British withdrew from the Persian Gulf in 1971, and the Trucial states became a

federation called the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Two of the Trucial states, Bahrain

and Oman , chose not to join the federation, reducing the number of states to seven.

4

The country signed a military defense agreement with the U.S. in 1994 and one with

France in 1995.

After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S., the UAE was identified as a major

financial center used by al-Qaeda in transferring money to the hijackers (two of the 9/11

hijackers were UAE citizens). The nation immediately cooperated with the U.S., freezing

accounts tied to suspected terrorists and strongly clamping down on money laundering.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE and ruler of the federation

since 1971, died in Nov. 2004. His son succeeded him. In Jan. 2006, Sheik Maktoum bin

Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister of the UAE and the emir of Dubai, died. Crown

Prince Sheikh Muhammad ibn Rashid al-Maktoum assumed both roles.

Culture

The culture of UAE is much diversified. The people from around more than 40

countries live there. They also bring their value and norm which collectively make

addition in the culture of UAE. Despite of this, that every tourists have equal rights to

live according to their values and the Emirates government protect their right as well.

The official religion of the country is Islam.

Etiquette is an important aspect of UAE Culture and Tradition. The visitors here are

expected to show manners and etiquette. Like every country in the world the tourists

have to accustom themselves according to the culture. Similarly in UAE, to get close to

the local people, foreigners have to put themselves in the traditional norms and culture

of UAE.

Other than the gulf countries such as Oman, Kuwait etc, the UAE has designed a

deliberate structure so that the foreigners can live the life according to their own norm

and values. The Ministry's Cultural Department plays the key role to preserve the

cultural heritages and retain the country's tradition. The Department regularly publish

books related to heritage, culture, art and theater. Several lectures, seminars and other

cultural activities and events are organized by the Ministry's Cultural Department in

UAE.

Fishing

In the UAE, a land where rain rarely fell and little grew, harvesting fish was the

traditional lifeblood of the community, a valuable source of protein since time

immemorial. As a result, Emiratis were intimately connected to the sea, only taking from

it what they needed. The practice of splitting and drying fish (small fish e.g. jashr

(anchovies) or uma (sardines) were dried whole, spread out on the ground), and of salting

the largest specimens meant that resource was available to the population inland. Some

fishmeal was used as camel fodder or as fertilizer, for example, silversides in vegetable

gardens.

In recent years, the UAE’s population has grown at an unprecedented rate and tourism

and trade have flourished, resulting in a large demand for seafood. This has led to a

substantial investment in a modern fishing fleet and an increase in boat numbers, boat

6

sizes, and better equipment. The consequence is a higher fishing effort and a greater

depletion of stocks: the bounty enjoyed by so many for so long is in rapid decline.

Environmental organizations such as Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) are

carrying out surveys of fish stocks to accurately assess the situation. Fishing activities are

being monitored and managed. Fishing licenses have been limited, the use of fish traps

has been regulated, net sizes have been controlled and periods when fishing can take

place have been stipulated.

Fish markets

As the fish markets in UAE is quietly well established and appropriately managed. There

are two huge fish markets in UAE. These markets are: Mina port fish market in Abu

Dhabi and Diera Fish market in Dubai. Both these markets are one-stop installment of

having dried fish market, meat market, fruit and vegetable market, spices market, and

small groceries which are all just adjacent to the fish market, and all are just under one

roof. Other than buying and selling of sea food, there is a proper arrangement of cooking.

If any customer wants a fried fish, he/she can get the fried fish also. Because there are big

ovens have installed. Just buy a big fish or prawns in the fish market, and then take it to

any of the stall for grilling or frying. Their cooking time takes between 20-30 minutes

and they charge AED 10 (USD 2.70) per kilo regardless of the method of cooking.

The cleaning and cutting section is also there. The customer is not willing to get the

services of fried fish and want to bake it at home. Customer has this privilege also, he/she

should go to the cleaning and cutting section and can get a chopped fish according to

their own desire.

The fishes are of great variety including milk fishes, tilapias, squids, mackerels, sardines,

mullets, pomfrets, tunas, crabs, and many others.

These seafood treasures come from as far away as Taiwan, and Spain. Locally caught

seafood usually comes from the neighboring countries such as Umm Al Quwain and

Oman. Fish from the India, Srilanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh are also available there.

The sea where these fishes are caught is just a few steps away from the market.

7

Huge piles of heavy lively fresh fishes are being wheeled by wheelbarrows all over the

place to finally put the fishes into their respective kiosk spots, and this starts as early as

5am.

The fish traders are amazingly skilled linguists. They are able to speak many foreign

dialects. If you are a new customer, you'd surely be entertained enough that you would

actually forget that you should be haggling. In amazement, you'll just end up giving in

into their demanded price.

Pakistan and United Arab Emirates relationship

Pakistani-United Arab Emirates have the very strong political and economical relation.

Pakistan was the first country to formally recognize the independence of UAE. Bilateral

relations and mutually beneficial cooperation have progressed steadily ever since.

Pakistan and the UAE are enjoying extremely close and fraternal relations. As both the

countries were founded on ideology of Islam therefore they have the deep-rooted cultural

similarities, shared faith and traditions, as also geographic proximity and identity of

interests. The base of the strong relations are date back to UAE formation in 1971, since

then both the countries are strengthening the relations by mutual collaboration on the

ground of politics as well as economically. UAE has been a major donor of economic

assistance to Pakistan. UAE has been appreciative of Pakistan's contribution to the

evolution of key institutions in the Emirates such as armed forces, police, health and

education, and has reciprocated in the same friendly manner to the full satisfaction of

Pakistan.

Frequent exchanges of high level visits and regular bilateral consultations between the

two countries are reflective of the fact that Pakistan and UAE have laid strong

foundations of mutually beneficial relations, friendship and peaceful cooperation over the

years. The UAE has emerged as one of Pakistan's major economic and trading partners.

A large number of Pakistani expatriates, numbering nearly 400,000 are gainfully

employed in UAE. The Pakistani expatriates in UAE have contributed in a significant

8

manner to promotion of bilateral understanding and to the economy of Pakistan through

their home remittances.

Introduction of Sea food in Pakistan

Fishery plays an important role in the national economy. It provides employment to about

300,000 fishermen directly. In addition, another 400,000 people are employed in

ancillary industries. It is also a major source of export earning. In July-May 2002-03 fish

and fishery products valued at US $ 117 million were exported from Pakistan. Federal

Government is responsible for fishery of Exclusive Economic Zone of Pakistan. In

addition, It is also responsible for making policies, inter-provincial co-ordination,

planning, research, quality control, training, exploratory fishing, stock assessment,

fisheries management, fleet improvement, data collection and export etc.

Pakistan is endowed with rich fishery potential. It is located in the northern part of the

Arabian Sea and has a coastline of about 1,120 km with a broad continental shelf and its

Exclusive Economic Zone extends upto 200 n. miles from the coast. There are about

16,000 fishing boats in coastal area of Pakistan which operate in shallow coastal waters

as well as in offshore areas. These fishing boats undertake fishing trips lasting for few

hours to about 25 days depending upon type of fishing. Total production from inland and

marine waters is approximately 0.60 M. tons.

Pakistan is very rich in its sea food, having a wide cost, with huge reservoir of sea water

enables the country to provide good quality of much verity. Due to lack of processing,

refrigeration and transportation faculties there is a barrier in increase of value addition

and export.

Pakistan exports fresh, frozen, dryad, live, and value added sea food of many kinds all

over the world. Exporter of fish from Pakistan can offer;

King fish

Srilanka and Singapore The Pakistan is paying keen attention to maintain the standards of fisheries export. But

Pakistan had faced a serious blow from the European Union, as In 2007 EU imposed a

ban on the import of fisheries form Pakistan. The reason was clear, after inspection, they

have found unhygienic condition of fisheries during the export. EU conveyed to Pakistan

that until these exports complied with their sanitary and phyto-sanitary requirements,

their entry in the EU will not be allowed. The government of Pakistan jump into this

issue to solve it and a complete document was prepared which include the solution of all

the reservation EU was facing. Unfortunately, still the problem could not be solved.

Fish processing Plants in Pakistan:

these 25 units are located in Karachi of federal govt. provided intelligentsia and technical

assistants to se food establishment for improving their processing conditions compliance

Recommendation:

Aqua culture can play a very vital role in our economy. Marine aqua culture is

nonexistent; however, fresh water aqua culture is fairly developed. Govt. of Pakistan

must take measures to increase the export of sea food. Measures may be taken as:

First of all the government of Pakistan has take the steps so that there should be

sufficient availability of raw materials required for fish processing.

The government should developed number of small ice plants near the port. Every

fish trader should have the full access to these ice plants by paying some charges.

Next, there should be the proper up gradation of fishing storage plants. If any sort

of repair is needed, that should be provided immediately.

The proper actions have to be taken for the promotion of marine aqua culture.

Also the full guidance and assistance must be provided to the fish traders.

There is a need to explore the new sea food resources.

The government has to maintain the cleanness on vessel to protect the sea food

from any unhygienic disease. It could badly affect the export of fish. As Pakistan

is already facing a ban from European Union because of lack infected sea food

items.
