The generation of market information is critical in the dynamic and highly differentiated global seafood market. Information has strategic value and market information is therefore vital in creating and delivering value. However, the context of long, globalised supply chains and highly differentiated seafood markets results in value chain members having...

International seafood trade takes place through value chains that link production in developing countries to developed country markets. As a result of the emergence of the global value chain analytical framework from the political economy of development (and underdevelopment) approach, value chain analysis has traditionally maintained a production orientation to...
The fairness and inclusiveness of globalization in seafood trade is coming under increased scrutiny due to economic, social and environmental impacts created as trade has expanded, often leading to imbalances among nations. The European Union is the most important world market for the consumption of seafood. Despite the construction of...
Globalisation continues to impact the fisheries sector, aided by international governance frameworks in fisheries production and trade. Within these frameworks, tensions exist between trade facilitating measures and trade restricting measures. For example, UNCLOS extended Exclusive Economic Zones to 200 miles, resulting in a significant increase in volume and trade in...
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,...
The cumulative global loss of economic potential from fisheries over the
last 30 years is US $3 trillion. More than half of these fishery sector losses
come from developing countries. However, these are only primary costs
and do not take into account human security risks associated with poorly
governed fisheries....
Globalisation in the retail sector is transforming food value chains by driving consolidation in the industry and extending supply chains across the globe. Globalisation enables retailers to benefit from economies of scale and cheaper production in foreign locations. However, food markets themselves are increasingly responding to local consumer preferences. In...
