Inland catches are also important for food security in several countries in Africa, which accounts for 25 percent of the global catches. Europe, the Americas and Oceania account for 9 percent. Myanmar, which had ranked second among global producers of inland fish -thanks to an unreliable average growth of 15 percent per year - now more realistically ranks fourth (Table 5). Brazil, by far the major producer in South America, has not reported official catch data to FAO since 2014, so its statistics have been estimated.
