Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in the United Republic of Tanzania 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The United Republic of Tanzania fisheries and aquaculture production is dominated by small scale fishers, processors and traders. The fisheries and aquaculture sector provides direct employment to about 202,053 and indirectly more than 4 million people depends on the fisheries related activities such as fish processors and traders, fishing vessel manufacturers and suppliers, fishing gear menders, fish mongers and employees. However, the small scale fisheries (SSF) is challenged with huge Post-Harvest Fish Loss (PHFL) along the supply chain from harvest to the consumption. Although, the United Republic of Tanzania is blessed with many different fish specifies which are characterized by different post-harvest handling and processes, and mixed fish and fish products loss and waste scenarios. This work found limitation of robust impact assessment and interventions to reduce food fish loss and waste for all value chains actors from harvest to consumption. This concludes that there is little information to inform policy makers, and recommend that more robust and harmonized evidences on FLW are needed. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in Colombia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Colombia enjoys throughout the year a constant and varied production of food thanks to the extensive experience of Colombian producers, with coffee and bananas being the leading products in export. As for fishing, tuna and shrimps are export products that have been positioned in the international market, as well as Tilapia and Trucha in Colombian aquaculture. The fishing sector is characterized by industrial and artisanal fishing or small-scale fishing, this line largely supplies the domestic market, generates income and contributes to food security, especially for rural families and population centers. Fish loss is mainly due to catch and post-harvest management, infrastructure constraints, cold chain, transport and storage. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in Sri Lanka 2023
Also available in:
No results found.This study aimed to review the overall status of food loss and waste (FLW) along the fisheries value chains in Sri Lanka, enabling the FLW to be well understood and the focus of further FLW assessments and solutions. The value chains of marine and inland and aquaculture sectors were found to be pillars of fisheries production in the country. Yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna contribute significantly to deep-sea fishing and are crucial for fisheries export earnings. Coastal fisheries made up 58 percent of marine catch and brought a variety of fish, mainly targeting local consumption. The study recommends yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, Shortfin Scad or Mackerel fish (Decapterus macrosoma), of marine fisheries and tilapia from inland fisheries and smoked fish industry from processing were recommended for further FLW assessments along with recommendations for FLW reduction solutions in Sri Lanka.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFisheries and the BBNJ Agreement 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Due to the impact the BBNJ Agreement could have on the fisheries sector, and following COFI 36 requesting FAO to raise awareness, for all relevant stakeholders including Members and RFBs, on the implications of the BBNJ Agreement for the fisheries and aquaculture sector, and support Members as appropriate in the ratification and implementation of the Agreement, FAO seeks to inform and guide its members on the relevance, likely impacts and benefits offered by the agreement. The aim is to develop a resource product that speaks directly to FAO Members, and their authorities with competence for the management and conservation of fisheries. The Fact Sheet presented is an interim product with the objective to introduce the work in progress on the report at the FAO side event to take place during the BBNJ Preparatory Commission (PrepCom2, New York, 18-29 August 2025) by the FAO Delegation, with particular emphasis on the participation of RFB Secretariats. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFISH4ACP - Developing sustainable aquatic value chains
Practical guidance for analysis, strategy, and design
2025Also available in:
Practical guide for the analysis and development of sustainable aquatic value chains, based on the methodology used by FISH4ACP, a global aquatic value chain development program, to analyse and develop fisheries and aquaculture value chains in 12 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. It is part of a series of practitioner handbooks on sustainable value chain development within the framework of FAO’s sustainable food value chain (SFVC) approach. This guide provides practical guidance on assessing aquatic value chains, designing and implementing effective upgrading strategies, and strengthening stakeholder collaboration and governance.
