Synopsis (short abstract) This study was undertaken as part of the FISH4ACP programme. FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) to support sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development. This five-year value chain (VC) development programme (2020–2025) is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with funding from the European Union (EU) and Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).Tuna accounts for nearly all of the national fishery’s production and exports from the Marshall Islands. Most tuna caught in the waters surrounding this chain of coral islands and atolls in the Central Pacific Ocean derives from industrial offshore fishing, particularly purse seine fishing. Most tuna is transshipped in the port of Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands, to other regions for processing. Yet, increased catches have not translated into domestic growth in the post-harvest and processing sector. The purse seine tuna VC in the Marshall Islands is one of 12 VCs competitively selected from over 70 proposals worldwide for support from the FISH4ACP programme.
