  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Effect of Trade and Agriculture Policies on Fish Trade and Production in Nigeria Author: Alabi, Reuben Adeolu, Erie, Otasowie Gladys The fishery sector is important in Nigeria’s development matrix. The sector not only provides employment for the citizens but also contributes more than 40% of animal protein consumed by average Nigerian. However, over the years the role of providing animal protein for the populace dwindled to the extent that fish demand outweigh fish production, which created trade imbalance. In order to reverse decline in fish production and curtail fish imports, Government of Nigeria put up agricultural and trade policies to boost fish production and move Nigeria toward self sufficiency in fish. In this study we examined if these policies have influenced fish production, import and export from 1961-2006 in Nigeria. We applied statistical and econometric techniques to relevant time series data generated from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and Food and Agricultural Organisation Statistical Database. The results of the analyses indicate that SAP has significant effect on fish export, but it has not significantly increased fish production and decreased fish importation in Nigeria. The implication of these findings is that although SAP may increase fish export in Nigeria; because of price incentives associated with SAP. However, price incentives may not be enough to stimulate domestic fish production in Nigeria. The country should think of production inputs incentives as done during Pre-SAP era. The government needs to set in motion other sustainable sector specific strategies and policies in order to fully exploit the potentials of Nigeria’s fishery sector. One of these sustainable strategies is the proper harnessing of aquaculture.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Market Dynamics and Governance in Global Aquaculture Value Chains: Chaining Producers? Author: Kelling, Ingrid, Young, James A. The expansion of the aquaculture sector over the last two decades has coincided with the growth in importance of supermarkets in fish retailing in the EU. This paper presents a Value Chain analysis of selected species from their point of production in Bangladesh to the major consumer markets in Europe, and in particular through retail supply chains. The paper outlines the Global Value Chains (GVCs) for the selected aquatic products from the chosen country then provides a critical assessment of the market dynamics in the major consumer markets and the governance structures in place. The paper establishes the conditions of participation in GVCs, the barriers, and provides an initial analysis on possibilities for upgrading. It then concludes by examining the scope for further realisation of the values that might be added to aquaculture exports from such developing countries in an era of heightened green concerns, and potential effects.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Recommendations to Ensure the Vietnam Pangasius Sustainable Export in the World Market Author: Nguyen, Kim Anh Thi, Nguyen, Lien Vi Thi, Nguyen, Tram Anh Thi Pangasius culture in recent years has proved its ability to contribute to national wealth and prosperity. As far as domestic consumption is concerned, pangasius represents an important source of nutrient intake for a large portion of the population. Multiple effects have been generated through large-scale exports, which is associated with foreign currency earnings, job creation and income enhancement. However, farmers, producers and exporters have come under increasing challenges given volatile prices and prohibitive technical barriers that prevail in the international pangasius trade. Negative implications from these external factors are widely observed at national-, business- and individual levels. Suggestions to unravel the bottlenecks are therefore necessary to boost the overall performance of the whole sector. Complementary to these efforts, the article will focus on enhancing the pangasius exporting industry by applying the expert method and the Five Forces Model introduced by Michael E. Porter. It is hoped that thorough analyses followed by recommendations from the paper serve as one important source of inputs for informed policy making among industry think-tankers.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Barometer Survey for the Economic Outlook of Finnish Fishery Enterprises Author: Honkanen, Asmo, Ahvonen, Anssi, Veneranta, Lari Fishery barometer surveys economic prospects and trends of fishery enterprises in Finland. The enterprises are divided into fishing, aquaculture, processing and the wholesale or retail trade. Since year 2000 the enterprises have been asked to evaluate their economic parameters, such as financial standing, turnover and investments. The present situation is compared with the previous 12 months and with expectations for the coming 12 months. The aim is to collect data that are reliable and comparable in the long term. The survey population consists of all fishery sector enterprises on the register of Statistics Finland, i.e. 850-1000 firms every year. The net sample has been 300-400 and the response rate about 80%. The sample has been allocated to fixed quotas to ensure enough observations of all strata. The development and relevance of the barometer are discussed more closely in the paper.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Benefits From R&D and Spill-Overs in Aquaculture: An Eu-15 Modelling Approach Author: Mueller, Rolf A.E., Guettler, Stefan Aquaculture is increasingly important for the future supply of fish because of steadily increasing demand while supply from fisheries is stagnating. In the EU aquaculture production has grown strongly in some countries, such as Spain and Greece, but was flat at a low level in others, such as in Germany, where national aquaculture production contributes only little to total supply of fish for food. Despite the small size of their aquaculture industries some German states have initiated sizeable aquaculture R&D-programs with the objective to foster local aquaculture industries. This study analyses economic effects of aquaculture R&D from the perspective of a country whose aquaculture industry is small in relation to the EU market and which has to consider significant R&D-spill-overs in addition to the usual impacts of R&D on producers' costs and consumers' consumption expenses. Based on fish market characteristics for EU-15-countries three scenarios are investigated using IFPRI´s Dynamic Research Evaluation for Management (DREAM) model. In the first scenario R&D-effects only take place in German aquaculture production and no spill-overs to other countries occur. The second scenario allows for spill-overs of technologies from Germany to all other EU-15-countries. Time lags for the transmission of technologies to the remaining EU-15-countries are introduced in the third scenario. DREAM computes the effects of R&D for producers and consumers: changes in quantities and prices of fish from aquaculture leads to changes in producer and consumer surplus. The results of this paper provide important implications for political decisions concerning the allocation of public funds for R&D-projects in aquaculture.
