The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) recognize the rights of fishers and fishworkers, acting both individually and collectively, to improve their livelihoods through enhanced value chains, post-harvest operations and trade. To achieve this, Chapter 7 of the SSF Guidelines recommends building capacity of individuals, strengthening organizations and empowering women; reducing post-harvest losses and adding value to small-scale fisheries production; and facilitating sustainable trade and equitable market access. This document includes nine case studies that showcase applied practices and successful initiatives to enhance small-scale fisheries value chains, post-harvest operations and trade, illustrating the recommendations contained in the SSF Guidelines. The case studies constitute a rich selection of experiences that are diverse, not only with regard to their geographical setting, but also in the topics covered and approaches employed. Each case study presents critical analysis of the relevant enabling conditions and discusses the challenges and opportunities in relation to replicating the respective initiative in other fisheries and development contexts. The studies were chosen for their potential to inform an international audience of development and fisheries professionals and stakeholders, with the intention of supporting national and international policies and policy processes to enhance small-scale fisheries value chains, post-harvest operations and trade.
