Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
This study examines the symbolic and concrete impacts of Uganda's food safety standards, quality management and sustainability standards. Only by fixing `the system' (of regulations and inspections) and performing the ritual of laboratory testing for all consignments for exports to the EU did the Ugandan industry regain its status as a `safe' source of fish. Yet, important chunks of `system' exist only on paper. The white coat and advanced machinery of present-day alchemists reassure insecure European regulators and consumers. In Uganda, fish can be turned into gold again - but for how long?
