ProjectProgramme / project reportProvincial Aquaculture Development Project, Lao - December 1997 1997
Also available in:
No results found.The demand for fish fry in Lao P.D. R. is estimated at 60 million pieces annually. Actual production is unknown, but probably does not exceed 10 million pieces per year. Expansion of the aquaculture sector in Lao P.D.R. can only be achieved if this fry shortage can be resolved. Fish fry are currently supplied by both government and private sector hatcheries. The production from the government owned hatcheries is generally low and could be improved. The cost of the fish fry produced by the hatc heries is high, which limits the availability of the fry to low income farmers. The high price of the fry reflects the low efficiency of production from the hatcheries. Transportation of fry between hatcheries and farmers is also a constraint to aquaculture. An unknown quantity of fry is imported from China, Vietnam and Thailand into provinces that share borders with these countries. -

No results found.This consultancy was carried out within the scope of the “Provincial Aquaculture Development Project” LAO/97/007, to develop a phase II project proposal for potential funding by United Nations Development Program . This consultancy mission report consists of two principle sections; the Phase II proposal document for consideration by UNDP and an overview document of the role of small-scale aquaculture in rural Lao livelihoods. The Phase II project proposal is principally intended for UNDP’s con sideration for support and therefore reflects UNDP’s development objectives. The purpose of this proposal for use with alternative donors, is as a starting point for dialogue in the funding process. The identification of potential alternative sources of funding for the second phase is to be pursued by UNDP, FAO and the Project, based on discussions initiated during this consultancy mission.

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change.
