Book (series)Technical studySupermarkets and the Artisanal Fisheries Sector in Latin America: Case Studies from Brazil and Peru
Case Studies from Brazil and Peru
2006Also available in:
No results found.The growth of the retail sector and its increasing dominance in food distribution to the consumer has led to a long-term shift in the distribution of economic power and the restructuring of supply systems. The purpose of this study was to try to analyze the impact of the super market development in two Latin American countries, Brazil and Peru, on the marketing channel of fish and seafood with particular reference to the artisanal fisheries sector. In this connection the study also describes the artisanal fisheries sector in both countries in some detail. Results from the study are based on a survey covering the expectations and requirements of supermarkets and linking these requirements to the reality in the artisanal fisheries sector. Under the impact of the supermarket’s alternative distribution network, traditional distribution wholesale and retail systems are adopting a competitive adaptation strategy based on the imposition of similar quality and logistical requirements. From the standpoint of smallscale producers, the principal conclusion points to strong selection processes which will spare only the most efficient and those able to confront the new barriers which include investment costs, management skills and new organizational forms involving higher levels of association and cooperation. In the annexes details of the interviews are presented for both countries. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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. -
