“…Finally, the more capital input there is, the greater the economic outcomes of smallscale fisheries are. The fishing industry requires a relatively large amount of capital input even at the household level [60,61]. According to our estimation results, fisheries with a large amount of capital input, including aquaculture and fishing boat fishing, show a higher probability of income increase than bare-hand fishing or fishing without oxygen barrels (women divers; Haenyeo in Korean).…”

Who Becomes a Fisherman? A Two-Stage Sample Selection Analysis on Small-Scale Fishery Choice and Income in Korea

The sustainability of coastal communities is emerging as a primary topic in policy groups. In Korea, the multifunctionality of small-scale fisheries is being emphasized, and the government has attempted various policies, such as the promotion of in-migration and the fishery industry. However, despite the diverse alternatives, the population and fisheries have been continuously downsizing. This trend threatens the sustainability and pluralistic values of coastal communities. This study identifies the crucial determinants needed to expand small-scale fisheries and enhance the economic motivation for sustainable coastal communities. The analysis is conducted with a two-stage Heckman selection model using the Korea Fishery Census and the Agricultural Census. The estimation results show that the socioeconomic incentives and performance of fisheries in coastal areas are limited. In particular, although the policy pays attention to young, highly educated, and in-migrant groups, it seems to have a limited preference for small-scale fisheries due to economic, societal, and institutional constraints. On the other hand, the family-oriented fishing activities and self-governance unique to fishing villages in Korea could improve the multifunctionality of small-scale fisheries in Korea. In addition, when a fishery household engages in production and sales activities as a member of a fraternity or collective wholesale contract, economic outcomes significantly increase. The results suggest that it is necessary to sustain communal socioeconomic activities by opening up communities and adjusting specific operating systems of self-governance.

“…Considering these findings, the economic efficiencies of both developed and developing member states highly depend on capacity enhancement directly or indirectly supported by fisheries subsidies. Indeed, capacity enhancement in the European Union was supported by increased investments (Carvalho et al, 2020). But even though overcapacity exists, harvest productivity is still not at efficient levels for most member states In recent decades, total allowable catch schemes for various marine fisheries, either successful or unsuccessfully, were commonly implemented around the world.…”

I explored harvest productivity and economic efficiency of marine fisheries across European Union member states using comparative first and second-stage data envelopment analyses, linear programming, and econometric models, based on a panel data set of technical, social, and economic data between 2008 and 2020 when the first implications of the global Covid-19 outbreak began in the European Union. During the period, harvest productivity increased for 52 percent of the 21 member states between 2008 and 2020, with an average economic efficiency of 0.76. The economic efficiency and harvest productivity of European Union member states' fisheries fluctuated, with noticeable declines throughout the study period. Gross domestic product per capita, population size, and aquaculture production were related to performance metrics. The results are aimed to guide European Union fisheries managers to better understand how improvements in harvest productivity and economically efficient performance are achieved without constant reliance on subsidization, over-allocation, and overexploitation.

“…In most sectors of the economy, an increase in capital (i.e., investment) is often considered a good thing, as it can promote the expected economic growth. However, in the capture fisheries sector, investment is often dangerous, because it can lead to an unwanted increase in fishing vessel capacity, given the status of most fish resource stocks having been overexploited (Carvalho, Casey, Guillen, & Rodgers, 2020). Therefore, it is necessary to have accuracy in encouraging investment in the fishery sector.…”

Omnibus Law and the Challenges of the Indonesian Agricultural Sector: an Islamic Perspective

At the end of 2020, the Indonesian Parliament approved the Job Creation Law, commonly known as the "Omnibus Law", which introduces key amendments to several sectors, including the agriculture sector. Through this legislation, the Indonesian government plans to increase food trade and open up opportunities for the private sector to be more involved in increasing Indonesia's agricultural productivity. However, many observers consider that the Omnibus Law is unfavourable for farmers and the agricultural sector because it no longer requires the government to prioritize local agriculture products, and only imposes an obligation on the government to increase the productivity of local agriculture. Imports become one of the main sources of domestic food supply, apart from domestic production and national food reserves. The law will also remove the restriction for foreign investment in the horticulture sector and introduce a land bank to collect vacant land which will be redistributed by the government. Based on this background, this article aims to provide an overview of the impact of the Omnibus law on the current agricultural sector in Indonesia. A descriptive analysis method is used to compare the Omnibus law with the original laws relating to the agriculture sector. Finally, by taking on an Islamic perspective, it will discuss the substance of the Omnibus law, the essence of the Indonesian agriculture sector in relation to relevant regulations in terms of challenges and upcoming prospects, as well as policy implications as a conclusion.
