Resumen
Descripción
Development of voluntary certification schemes and branding initiatives for capture fisheries are issues of increasing importance, especially in Asia-Pacific. Few studies, however, have been undertaken to quantitatively assess the net benefits to the fisheries sector of either certification or branding. Governments, producers, exporters and retailers need to base their decisions on whether to engage in certification or branding on a rational assessment of the relative costs and benefits over tim e. This publication presents some guidance on the issues involved and how to conduct a cost-benefit analysis in helping producers and exporters improve the net value-added of their business operations.
