Abstract

Women’s participation in post-harvest activities in Mexico dates back to pre-Hispanic times when women engaged in salting, drying and selling fish in rural markets. Currently, while women are involved in all activities along the fish value chain, their roles are mainly in post-harvest and administrative activities. Most studies talk about women’s work in low payment employments but not in influential positions. Women’s participation in the fishing industry as business leaders is not common.
