Chapter 3 in Unravelling Supply Chain Networks of Fisheries in India, 2022, pp 19-45 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Given the importance of the fisheries sector across nations, the supply chains relating to the sector also are of significance. This chapter discusses supply chain-related issues for countries across the globe. In particular, we focus on developing nations to discuss the cases of five countries, one each from Asia (Bangladesh), Africa (Egypt), Latin America (Peru) along with one from a landlocked country (Nepal), and a Small Island Developing State (SIDS, Maldives) to present a picture of how these chains are organised in different countries across the globe and highlight their similarities and differences. In this context, it is to be noted that the supply chain varies depending on the species. If a species belongs to the marine variety, it will have a different supply chain compared to the one that comes from freshwater. Similarly, aquaculture products have their own supply chain. For example, in the case of marine fisheries, boat owners and financiers play a key role due to the initial high investment required for the boat. On the other hand, for aquaculture, in many countries, the wholesaler plays the role of the financier. Consequently, literature on the topic of the supply chains is often concerned with a specific variety of products only. The case studies presented in this chapter, therefore, relate to specific species from selected countries.
