The session was presented on Sunday, 12 March, with the following description:
According to FAO, around 12 percent and counting of the world population makes its livelihood from seafood. Small -scale producers and coastal communities are more likely to engage in sustainable practices compared to their industrial counterparts. Yet, small-scale producers face the most obstacles to reach larger international markets. One such obstacle is the cost of sustainable certification.
The panel discussion will include representatives of the supply chain where a new model for artisanal certification is being tested, including from Envisible – a seafood-sourcing company – and Cape Fish – a seafood processor – which both work with small-scale South African fishers in a fully traceable seafood supply chain. The model enables a route to market with lower costs for producers, buyers, and consumers. The panelists will speak from experience applying the model in a yellowfin tuna supply chain and will offer practical steps for producers and buyers to explore the model and traceability in their own supply chains.
The entire package of videos from Seafood Expo Global can also be purchased for USD 300 (EUR 273) for non-members and is free to SeafoodSource Premium members, through the Complete Digital Ticket: Seafood Expo Global 2023.
