Furthermore, the government`s efforts to promote domestic fishing and aquaculture industries are anticipated to increase the availability of locally sourced squid, reducing the dependency on imports.

Additionally, market volatility due to factors like weather patterns, global demand fluctuations, and import regulations can affect the supply and pricing of squid in Qatar, posing challenges for industry players. Nevertheless, there is a vast potential for local players to tap into the market through the development of sustainable aquaculture practices. Furthermore, there is increasing demand for environmentally friendly and ethically sourced squid, opening up opportunities for companies looking to establish a niche in the market.

Additionally, the government partnered with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to launch a project called "Sustainable Management of Fisheries Resources in the Gulf of Oman." This project aimed to promote sustainable fishing practices and capacity building in the country's fishing industry.
