From 5 to 7 December 2023, the FAO, in collaboration with the Global Roundtable on Marine Ingredients and the Iceland Ocean Cluster, organised a workshop in Accra (Ghana) on the theme: "Optimising food and nutritional security and the benefits of small pelagic species production in subSaharan Africa"1 . The aim of this meeting was to discuss how to increase the benefits derived from small pelagics for food and nutrition security and livelihoods, while managing trade-offs with the demand for fishmeal and fish oil. This workshop followed a report commissioned by the Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) on the "Socio-economic and biological impacts of the fish feed industry in sub-Saharan Africa"2 , published in 2022. This report recommended to (1) limit the production on FBF based on the status of fish stocks and the human consumption needs, (2) to reduce bycatches and losses being directed to fishmeal production, and (3) to purposely regulate the price for edible fish to reduce the harmful competition from the FBF industry.
