  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Marketing and Food Security in Nigeria Author: Agbebi, Funmilola Omolara Fish is an important source of protein for the middle-class and elites across Nigeria. The handling, processing, and marketing of fish products are essential complementary functions of all food production systems. Additionally, the fish trade offers substantial employment opportunities in many coastal and inland areas where fish is caught. The importance of fishery products and its marketing had always been an important discourse among scholars due to its contributions to Gross National Product and the per capital income of fishermen in Nations with fishing capabilities. In Nigeria, however, given increasing demand for fish, there seems to be a potentially strong market for the product. And markets determine marketing policies. So, markets have to be considered before policy making can start. This study proffer solutions to some key questions in the study of marketing of fish products in Nigeria such as: Key questions on: commodity chains/networks, trader roles, control of market space, market information, credit provision, transportation questions, consumption pattern, food safety regulation, Key questions around legislation, standardization of weights and measures, trader associations, Pricing, the role of traditional authorities, and alternatives to traditional intermediaries/ forms of supply. This paper therefore focuses on fish marketing and food security in Nigeria. Its various stages of development were considered. The study also shows some major findings that will assist policy makers. It also revealed the key roles of storage and processing as main factors aimed at improving fish marketing in Nigeria.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Value Chain of Yellow Fin Tuna in Sri Lanka Author: Thordarson, Gunnar, Gestsson, Helgi, Knútsson, Ögmundur The fishing industry is particularly important for Sri Lankans for the domestic supply but there is also a small but growing export market for high value products. The potential for economic development lies there with yellowfin tuna as the most important specie. In this research the efficiency and productivity of the yellowfin tuna value chain in Sri Lanka was studied. The main method emphasis was on interviews with value chain actors (primary data) but secondary data analysis was also used when available. The lack of reliable secondary data from Sri Lanka fisheries made the use of primary data necessary. Interviews were conducted from late 2007 until July 2008. The conclusion is that two different value chains are characteristic for the Sri Lankan yellowfin tuna industry; the domestic market value chain and the export market value chain. The local market is highly regulated and price oriented with low emphasis on quality. The export market is characterized by demand for quality and high prices. It relies heavily on the landings of foreign vessels. Additional emphasis on the export market could increase revenues of the sector but for that structural changes are essential. The local vessels are generally too small and poorly equipped to meet the quality requirements of the export market. For the local fleet there are considerable opportunities for improving quality and reducing costs. Main obstacles are the lack of knowledge and unstructured flow of information between fishermen and processors/exporters, as well as the lack of trust between actors.
