A study was conducted to investigate marketing channel and value chain analysis of some commercially important marine fish species available in Cox’s Bazar area, Bangladesh. Three commercially important marine fish species were investigated in respect to their marketing channel and value analysis: 1) Pomfret, Stromateus chinensis, 2) Jewfish, Otolithoides argenteus and 3) Hilsha, Tenualosa ilisha. Three marketing channels mainly encompasses from fishermen to consumers, namely the primary, secondary and retail markets involving sales agents, suppliers, wholesalers, commission agents, processors and retailers. A total of 120 fishermen and intermediaries involved in the channels were interviewed. A large number of intermediaries were found to be involved in the marketing channel and this group is believed to make huge profit, thus the prices of fishes were very high in the final consumer market. Marketing margin and profit also analyzed. Marketing margin for Pomfret fish, Jewfish and Hilsha were 21%, 27% and 27% of consumer purchase price, respectively. Poor road and transport facilities and large number of intermediaries in the chain were some of the major problems of marine fish marketing chain. It was therefore necessary to provide organizational support, government support, extension service and training facilities to the market operators for sustainable fish marketing systems.Res.

A study was conducted to investigate marketing channel and value chain of two commercially important marine fish species in Cox’s Bazar area, Bangladesh, namely, Bombay duck Harpodon nehereus and Ribbon fish, Trichiurus haumela. Three types of markets were found in the study namely primary, secondary and retail markets. The number of sample fishermen and intermediaries were 120. About 4 to 5 intermediaries were found to be involved in the each marketing chain and this group is believed to make huge profit, thus the prices of fishes were very high in the final consumer market. Marketing margin for fresh Bombay duck and ribbon fish were 29% and 28% and dried Bombay duck and dried ribbon fish were 35% and 19% of consumer purchase price, respectively. Poor transport facilities and huge number of intermediaries in the marketing channels were the main problems of marine fish marketing channel. Government intervention in the marketing channel is necessary for sustainable fish marketing systems.Progressive Agriculture 27 (2): 222-227, 2016

This study aims at documenting the value chain derived from mangrove forests in selected sites in central Mozambique (Zambezi Delta, Nhangau and Chiveve River), through the identification of the services delivered by mangrove forests and assessment of stakeholder’s engagement within the value chain. Furthermore, this work evaluates the income pathways as well as the current and potential benefits of different stakeholders and the socio-economic sustainability of mangroves in the three regions. Zambezi Delta is one of largest mangrove swamps in Africa and Chiveve is located in Beira City, impacted by Cyclone Idai in 2019. The main benefits obtained by the communities both in the Zambezi Delta and Nhangau were derived from commercially important wood extraction and honey production for domestic use. Within the Zambezi Delta, profit for small mangrove poles accrued at the wholesale level (82.6%), while that for large poles accrued to harvesters (125.0%), after a small initial direct investment. At Nhangau, small poles fetched profits of 17%, medium poles 11.5%, and large poles 24%; for charcoal, the greatest portion of profits went to retailers at 50%. Men were mostly involved in mangrove wood harvesting for commercial purposes, while women collected firewood mainly for domestic use. At the Chiveve, the community benefited predominantly from non-extractable services such as flooding control, water purification, nursery grounds for fisheries and aesthetic beauty. It is suggested that Mozambique mangrove forests are valued at USD 2 400 per hectare per year. This monetary accounting can be used to inform decision making on mangrove management and to improve the performance of the value chain and the wellbeing of local communities.

This study on ‘Value Chain Analysis of Fish in Meghalaya: A case study in East Khasi Hills district’ has been conducted in 2020-21 with specific objectives (1) To map the actors involved in the value chain of fish business. (2) To estimate the value addition in fish marketing by the value chain actors. The value chain actors were identified and the structure of the value chains was mapped. The study revealed that the most commonly followed method of value addition of fish in the study area are fermenting, drying and smoking. The cost incurred for making fermented fish was observed to be ` 21.50/kg, ` 16.50/kg for dry fish and ` 37.50/kg for smoked fish. Additionally, net profit was found to be highest in value-added fish than compared to fresh ones. Therefore, value addition should be encouraged among fish farmers to increase net profit.

Data yang digunakan adalahdata primer dan sekunder dari instansi terkait dan pelaku usaha. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancarakepada responden dengan teknik purposive dan snowball sampling. Data selanjutnya dianalisis dengananalisis nilai tambah, rantai pasok dan rantai nilai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemasaranikan cakalang memiliki tiga saluran distribusi yaitu: (1) dari nelayan ke pedagang pengumpul danke pedagang pengecer; (2) dari nelayan ke pedagang pengumpul kemudian ke pengolah ikan asar,dan; (3) dari nelayan ke UPI/cold storage. Analisis rantai pasok menunjukkan bahwa ikan cakalangsebagian besar (50%) didistribusikan ke UPI/cold storage dan sisanya dengan porsi yang sama (25%)didistribusikan ke pedagang pengecer dan pengolah ikan asar. Analisis rantai nilai menunjukkan bahwanilai tambah terbesar dihasilkan pada saluran pemasaran kedua, yaitu sebesar Rp.23.062/kg. Simpulrantai pasok nelayan cenderung tidak efisien pada ketiga saluran pemasaran. Rekomendasi kebijakanyang diusulkan: (1) koordinasi dengan Bappeda dan Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan sebagaiupaya pengembangan industrialisasi ikan cakalang; (2) melakukan introduksi dan penyebaran teknologipengolahan ikan cakalang dari Balitbang KP dan perguruan tinggi setempat untuk meningkatkan nilaitambah produk, dan; (3) memperluas akses pasar dengan mengefisienkan sistem distribusi, baik melaluijalur laut maupun udara.Title: Value Chain Analysis of Skipjack Tuna in Ambon, MalukuThe purpose of this research was to analyze value chain of skipjack to get a quantity valueand a level of efficiency on each node supply chain.
