Chapter 2 in Unravelling Supply Chain Networks of Fisheries in India, 2022, pp 7-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Traditionally, the fisheries sector has been playing an important role in the generation of livelihood in all coastal regions. Thus, nations with large coastal belts have well-developed marine fishery sectors. Among the developed nations, Norway, with a coastline of 83,000 km (FAO in Fishery and aquaculture country profiles—The Kingdom of Norway, 2013), is a leading producer of marine and aquaculture products. Another nation where marine fishery plays an important role is Japan. In the case of developing countries, Indonesia has a long coastline, and the fisheries sector contributed 16.8 billion USD to the economy in 2017 (BKPM in Investing in Indonesia’s fisheries sector: an overview of opportunities, capabilities and provisions. Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board, 2018). The benefits that the sector provides to different sections of the population engaged in various activities critically depend on how the entire supply chain is arranged. The supply chains often display exploitative traits where small fish farmers and fishermen get a raw deal. There is also overexploitation of fisheries resources. These are some of the critical issues discussed in the literature on different countries, and this chapter presents a review of the existing literature and derives the research gaps. The chapter begins with an international review, and the Indian literature is discussed thereafter. The review is organised under the following heads: Importance of the Fisheries Sector, Concepts of Supply Chain and Value Chain, Fisheries Supply Chain: Key Characteristics, Fisheries Supply Chain: Country Experiences, Small Fishermen in the Supply Chain, and Fisheries Supply Chain in India.
