SSF Guidelines: Value chains, post-harvest and trade
This short, animated video gives insights into value chains, post-harvest and trade in small-scale fisheries in small-scale fisheries.
What are ways to strengthen the value chain of your fishery and earn more from harvests? Small-scale fisheries are essential to the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people, including fishers and fish workers. Supporting the people working along fishery value chains and strengthening infrastructure and processes are critical to the well-being of small-scale fisheries communities. Start here to learn about value chains, post harvest, and trade and explore the sub-categories below.
