Book (stand-alone)Technical reportA research agenda for small-scale fisheries 2004
Also available in:
No results found.Small-scale fisheries and fisheries related activities make an important contribution to the nutrition, food security and sustainable livelihoods of people in many countries, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. In the Mekong Delta region alone, more than 15 million people are estimated to depend on fisheries activities on a daily basis, either for income, employment or food supply. The majority of these people live in rural (often remote) areas, with poor standards of living, and are unable t o influence their operating constraints. Small-scale fisheries have tended to receive little attention from policy-makers despite their significant contribution to food security. Systematic research support to improve understanding of their functioning, governance, and human and resource benefits has been lacking. This publication identifies some of the major issues affecting small-scale fisheries and provides a research agenda for addressing them. Consideration is also given to the means by whi ch the gap between research and action can be bridged. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyPRIVATE STANDARDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPEAN UNION MARKETS FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Implications for developing countries
2007Also available in:
No results found.Over the past 20 years the number of standards and certification programmes for agricultural production has grown rapidly. Producers who want to export are confronted not only by a plethora of import regulations, but also within import countries by different niche markets for which specific requirements have to be fulfilled. While the adoption of voluntary standards may grant export opportunities to farmers, they can also be considered barriers to entry for those who cannot apply them either because they are too onerous or because of the lack of knowledge about their requirements. In fact, some producers and exporters increasingly regard private standards as non‑tariff barriers to trade. New and more stringent standards are being developed year after year, and there is an urgent need to determine today, and in the future, the extent to which these govern world trade. This report gives an overview of standards and certification programmes relevant for fruit and v egetable producers and exporters in developing countries with a focus on the markets of the United States and the European Union. In addition, it gives an overview of current analytical work on standards and trade, reviews major assistance programmes related to standards and provides recommendations for further research. -
