No results found.Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) face persistent food security and nutrition challenges, with aquatic food consumption well below global levels. Despite abundant resources, aquaculture performance in LLDCs remains limited, though growth has accelerated in recent decades. This paper analyzes the rapid rise of aquaculture in the Plurinational State of Bolivia—one of the world’s fastest-growing producers, driven mainly by tambaqui/pacu farming. It examines production, trade, consumption, and socioeconomic and environmental dimensions, identifying key constraints such as value chain fragmentation, limited efficiency, and the need for species diversification. Bolivia’s experience highlights the value of strong institutional support, farmer engagement, targeted markets, and clear policies in building scale and consumer confidence. At the same time, it underscores the importance of aligning production with market capacity and embedding sustainability to avoid boom-bust cycles. The findings offer practical lessons for LLDCs: expand domestic fish demand, improve efficiency, strengthen governance and value chains, and adopt data-driven policies. While Bolivia’s conditions are unique, its core principles provide a pathway for using aquaculture to advance food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and sustainable growth in other LLDCs. -
