This report presents the results of the value chain analysis of the Lake Tanganyika sprat, sardine and perch value chain in The United Republic of Tanzania conducted from 2021-2022 by the value chain development programme FISH4ACP. This report contains a functional analysis of the value chain, assesses its sustainability and resilience, develops an upgrading strategy and an implementation plan to which FISH4ACP will contribute. FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) aimed at making fisheries and aquaculture value chains in twelve OACPS member countries more sustainable. It contributes to food and nutrition security, economic prosperity and job creation by ensuring the economic, social and environmental sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. FISH4ACP is implemented by FAO with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Food loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in the United Republic of Tanzania 2023

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.
