  1. Inclusive Value Chains for Livelihoods, Trade and Food Security: The Case of Small-scale Fisheries and the Aquaculture Industry in Small Island Developing States. Global Value Chains and the Fisheries Sector Andy Thorpe

  2. Global Value Chains (GVC): Global Interest (in) • The Value Chain Approach to Fisheries • Formulating Policies to support Effective Small-Scale Fisheries GVcs.

  3. 1. Who (besides UNIDO) is currently interested in Global Value Chains (GVC)? UNCTAD (2013) • FAO (2014) • OECD (2014) • Bamber et al (2014) • African Economic Outlook (2014) • Caribbean Regional Private Sector meeting • (June 2014) • IMF (2013).

  4. 2. Fisheries and the Value-Chain Approach. Multiple factors affect competitiveness, participation and upgrading possibilities in fisheries GVC and RVC. Developing Competitiveness in Fisheries Value Chains: Key Factors A: Productive Capacity: Human Capital * Specific training * Advanced training. B. Productive Capacity: Standards and Certifications. * Access to key end-markets is dependent upon the establishment and enforcement of strict SPS standards across the GVC. * Local regulatory requirements.

  5. C. Infrastructural Bottlenecks * Poorinfrastructure. * Customs delays * Specific infrastructure requirements D. Institutionalisation: Industry Maturity * ‘start-up’ or ‘catch-up’ costs. E. Business Environment: Access to Finance. * Investing in VCs. (Glenn Murray - “Best Practices for Value Chain Financing of Small-scale Fisheries Businesses”).

  6. 3. Formulating Policies to establish/support effective Small-scale Fisheries GVC and RVCs A. Identify Small-scale Fisheries VC with Developmental Opportunities B. Assess Ways to Increase Value-Added/Participation in the VC. * What are the opportunities for adding value along the chain? * Who are the key players in the chain – and how do they affect chain governance structures? * What value-added opportunities exist in new or alternative markets? C. Review the way existing policies impact upon VC development. D. Develop appropriate policies based on the preceding analysis ( Moses Amos “Introducing the Pacific Islands Fisheries Value Chain Project”).
