Synopsis (short abstract) The fish loss assessment was conducted under Component 5 of the global Norad-funded project “Responsible use of Fisheries and Aquaculture Resources for Sustainable Development” (GCP/GLO/352/NOR). It contributes to SDG 2 and SDG 12 and the Priority Programme Area on Better Nutrition 4 (BN4): Reducing food loss and waste.Food loss and waste (FLW) is a manifestation of poorly functioning food systems. Providing appropriate solutions to FLW in the aquatic food value chains is hampered by the lack of robust evidence-based data. The results of the fish loss assessments will contribute to addressing the root causes of significant losses while applying a broader and holistic approach to FLW solutions.

    This multidimensional solutions strategy for reducing the losses in the multiday fisheries sector in Sri Lanka is a comprehensive and multi-sectorial related approach aimed at addressing the challenges and maximizing the potential of the fisheries sector in Sri Lanka. It aims to tackle the significant losses incurred in the multiday fisheries sector with a strong emphasis on promoting the responsible use of fisheries resources for sustainable development. This strategy is designed based on the robust foundation of updated research findings on the extent of the fish losses, extensive engagement of stakeholders, and a thorough understanding of the underlying causes and impacts of food loss and waste (FLW). By implementing this strategy, we seek to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and profitability of the multiday fisheries sector while minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring food security which is the objective of Component 5 of the project GCP/GLO/352/NOR.
