COMCEC Agriculture Outlook 2018
19
meat production of OIC member countries continued to grow and exceeded 5.4 million tons in
2016. Compared to beef and buffalo meat and poultry meat, the share of sheep and goat meat
production of OIC member countries in the world was higher over time, reaching over 36
percent.
The fisheries production undergoes a dramatic structural change in favor of capacity increase in
fish farming practices while global capture fisheries production level remains stable. The share
of non-capture fisheries production increased from a level of 30.6 percent in 2000 to 53.1
percent in 2015 while the one in OIC is increased from 16 percent in 2000 to 53.1 percent in
2015.

2.3. Agricultural Productivity
Agricultural productivity is a broad concept which does not lend itself to a single measurement.
In general terms, it is defined as the ratio of agricultural outputs to agricultural inputs. There are
a wide variety of productivity measures depending on the degree and type of aggregation of
outputs and inputs: single output and a single input (wheat production/wheat area), aggregate
output and single input (value of crop outputs/total crop area), single output and aggregate
inputs (wheat production/value of inputs), aggregate output and aggregate inputs (value of crop
production/ value of inputs used in crop production). Furthermore, aggregations can be done
using prices as weights but also using other indexing methodologies.
