About the RUFORUM 2010 Biennal Conference
"The 2010 RUFORUM Biennial Conference was the second in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholders in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme of Aqua Culture and Fisheries"
Value chain analysis of Lake Chilwa fisheries in Malawi
Abstract:
The research will analyze value chain of Barbus paludinosus
and Oreochromis shiranus chilwae from Lake Chilwa in
Malawi. It will examine problems of asymmetric bargaining
power in fish sales and information flow on the distribution of
benefits along the value chain. Specifically, this research will
analyze chain governance, its impact to the actors along the
value chain, conduct value chain mapping, analyze cost
efficiency and assess income distribution and livelihoods. Data
collection will be through focus group discussions, interviews
and observations.
La recherche analysera la chaine de valeurs des Barbus
paludinosus et Oreochromis shiranus chilwae du Lac Chilwa
au Malawi. Il examinera les problèmes de pouvoir de négociation
asymétrique dans des ventes de poissons et d’écoulement de
l’information sur la distribution des bénéfices le long de la chaine
de valeurs. Spécifiquement, cette recherche analysera la
gouvernance de chaines, son impact sur les acteurs le long de
la chaine de valeurs, dirigera la cartographie de la chaine de
valeurs, analysera l’efficacité économique et évaluera la
répartition du revenu et les gagne-pains. La collecte de données
sera faite à partir des groupes de discussion, des entrevues et
des observations.
