FISH4ACP – Developing sustainable aquatic value chains: Practical guidance for analysis, strategy and design

2025

Practical guide for the analysis and development of sustainable aquatic value chains, based on the methodology used by FISH4ACP, a global aquatic value chain development program, to analyse and develop fisheries and aquaculture value chains in 12 African, Caribbean and Pacific countries. It is part of a series of practitioner handbooks on sustainable value chain development within the framework of FAO’s sustainable food value chain (SFVC) approach. This guide provides practical guidance on assessing aquatic value chains, designing and implementing effective upgrading strategies, and strengthening stakeholder collaboration and governance.
