BookletAgriculture and the food value chain 2005–2015 2022
Also available in:
No results found.FAOSTAT launches the new Food Value Chain (FVC) domain to inform users about the breakdown of the national food expenditures by final consumers through the different agrifood value chain industries. The FVC domain informs on the distribution of national final consumption expenditures on food among the different food value chain industries (agriculture, processing, wholesale and retail distribution) and related primary factors. It measures the share of domestic consumer food purchases received by the agricultural sector and the other food value chain industries, and their primary factors (labour, gross domestic surplus, imports) that contribute to the industry value added. -
Book (stand-alone)Overviews of food systems and agro-industry, value chains, and food loss and waste in the countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Many countries in the region have seen positive changes in agricultural development in recent years associated with countries’ reforms during the transition period after the Soviet Union collapse, as well as due to support from international organizations. This report overviews eighteen countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The report examines agriculture sectors and food systems, relevant programmes, it reveals the status of agro-processing sector and value chain development activities, and it covers food loss and waste. In the final analysis it was concluded, that more research and data collection are needed to understand the extent of food loss and waste at regional and national levels. It is recommended to update the regional agro-industry briefs that were compiled by FAO in 2014, and to supplement the briefs with the information on value chain development and food waste and loss. The report encourages better dissemination and sharing of results from partner organizations’ work on value chains, post-harvest handling, agro-processing and particularly food loss and waste activities. The report highlights that food loss and waste in the Europe and Central Asia region is not addressed in a uniform way. The report recommends to conduct more farmers’ trainings in harvesting techniques and improving access to infrastructure and markets (especially for smallholders). Companies and service providers in cold value chains should be supported in handling and increasing capacities. One of the highlighted challenges is a matter of connecting rural producers with logistics centres. Better integration of smallholder farmers into value chains is needed. Improving the enabling environment is crucial and will depend on enhancing the capacity of supporting institutions, including better understandings of current situations and challenges in order to provide countries and relevant stakeholders with solutions on improving effectiveness of value chains, including measures to reduce food loss and waste at all stages of the value chain. -
Book (stand-alone)Value chains of mackerel scad and tuna-like species caught by the semi-industrial fishing fleet of Cabo Verde
Summary report
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report was developed under the Korean-funded “Sustainable Fish Value Chains for Small Island Developing States” project. The project aims to contribute to economic growth, job creation, and food and nutrition security.This publication summarizes a much more detailed report focusing on the semi-industrial value chains of mackerel scad and tuna-like species in Cabo Verde. It reveals that the artisanal and semi-industrial fleets represent 97 percent of total catches. The semi-industrial fleet is concentrated mainly on Santiago, São Vicente, and São Nicolau islands, with the associated value chains generating almost 9110 direct jobs. Most landings of the target species are processed into canned products, which in turn make up most exports especially to the European Union. Theremainder, notably on other islands, supply the local market. The business environment is favourable, with ongoing improvements. The sustainability analysis contained in this publication assesses the economic performance, environmental impact, social aspects, and resilience to climate change. The report identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and formulates a 10-year upgrading strategy to achieve environmental sustainability, and socioeconomic development through improved financing and investment opportunities, and enhanced economic performance of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
