will increase the resilience of small-scale

fisheries and increase their contribution to
resilience reducing poverty and hunger?
4. What are the key development impacts we
will work towards achieving?
1) Increased production and consumption of fish in target sites
– Hunger and malnutrition is widespread in our target countries, and
assuring increased fish production is an important step towards
providing affordable fish for poor consumers.
1) Increased income for producers, processors and traders
– Income can be increased through improved productivity, sales and
value addition
5. Outcomes
• Improved and diversified value chains:
• value chain actors acquire new capabilities and access new market segments through
innovations in the value chain, and exposure to different managerial models, or
different end markets
• Improved institutions, policies and business environment:
• a supportive business environment, including access to inputs, services and capital for
chain actors, especially small holders
• Improved market information:
• information flows from consumers and buyers downstream to processors and producers
upstream is improved, so that upstream actors increase their capabilities to supply what
is required in the market
• More equitable participation:
• the distribution of benefits to value chain participants is more equitable and matches
the relative risks the chain actors’ experience
6. Research Questions
• What are the opportunities for increased employment for the poor and vulnerable
in fish value chains?
• How do market drivers affect producers’ methods and technologies, and what
value chain interventions support production practices that are more
economically, environmentally and socially sustainable?
• What business-support arrangements work effectively for smallholder producers
and traders, in particular microenterprises, in different environments?
• How can small operators become and remain more competitive as market chains
become increasingly integrated?
• How do knowledge and skills among the poor and vulnerable need to be
improved, and how can this be achieved?
• What policy interventions will boost competitiveness of target value chains?
• How will macro-trends and political economy context be expected to affect target
value chains over time?
7. Expected outputs 2012-2014
• Integrated research in development in key value chains in selected
countries will increase the volume of fish moving through them.
• Toolkits for assessment of pro-poor and gender integrative fish value
chains and their macro-context, as well as for identification of appropriate
interventions developed, validated and made available to our partners.
• Sectoral, spatial and resource trade-off models that improve
understanding of sustainable value chain development.
• Novel partnerships developed with private sector and development
partners for value chain development.
• Improved documentation of increased participation by women in existing
and new aspects of value chains.
8. Value Chains in the AAS CRP
Charles Crissman
Value Chains workshop
10-13 August 2012
WorldFish - Penang
10. Research questions
• What are the opportunities for increased employment for the poor and vulnerable?
• How can input markets deliver to smallholder producers high-quality inputs more consistently,
efficiently and affordably?
• How can value chain research help ensure high quality products from aquatic agricultural systems,
in terms of nutrition and food safety?
• How do market drivers affect producers’ methods and technologies, and what interventions
support practices that are more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable?
• What business-support arrangements work effectively for smallholder producers and traders, in
particular microenterprises, in different environments?
• How can small operators become and remain more competitive as market chains become
increasingly integrated?
• What wider services and support are required for value chains in aquatic agricultural systems that
are marked by remoteness, high mobility, high variability in production and incomes, and
heightened uncertainty about the future?
