No results found.A Symposium on Post-Harvest Fish Technology was held on 21 and 22 October 1990 in Cairo, Egypt, in conjunction with the Eighth Session of the Committee for Inland Fisheries of Africa (CIFA). The Symposium reviewed the present state of post-harvest fish technology with special reference to inland fisheries in Africa which are generally traditional, small-scale fisheries. It also reviewed the possibilities and constraints with regard to improving the role of the inland fisheries post-harvest secto r in generating income and in providing food. Review papers are included on the kinds and levels of post-harvest losses, on traditional and modern post-harvest technologies, on the present and potential role of inland fish in income generation and in food consumption. Papers also include country overviews and specific topics such as utilization of certain species, packaging, marketing and credit. -

No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Fisheries credit programmes and revolving loan funds: case studies 1989
Also available in:
No results found.While it is widely acknowledged that the availability of institutional credit is an important pre-condition for the further development of the small-scale fisheries sector of many developing countries, the lack of well-documented information with regard to the reasons for the success or failure of fisheries credit schemes impedes progress in the design and operation of new fisheries credit programmes and revolving loan funds. In order to gain more information in this vital area, the Fishery I ndustries Division of FAO initiated a series of case studies in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean on successful fishery credit programmes and revolving loan funds. Successful was defined by an over-all positive socio-economic impact, the full utilization of credits for their intended purpose, achievement of disbursement targets and satisfactory loan recovery. Each region is represented by two or three case studies, selected on the basis of various institutional a nd operational circumstances, in order to cover all major settings of fisheries credit operations. The case studies presented in this volume reflect the opinions of their authors who in some cases have been closely associated with the design and implementation of the credit programmes. Some editorial changes have been made to facilitate presentation and comparison, but the substance of the studies and the conclusions reached are those of the authors.
