“…With regard to SPS measures, Neeliah et al (2012), found that such measures did not act as a major barriers for Mauritian fish exports to the EU market. In a local context, the present finding is also consistent with the results obtained from the qualitative survey by Qatan et al (2015) where the industry representatives and the management authority reported that rejections from the EU market had become rare after the adoption of the HACCP system. Furthermore, it is reported by the authority that the highest number of notifications that were launched in 2005 and 2006 involved only two establishments.…”

“…Fish export creates competition between local and foreign consumers. To promote efficiency and fairness in relation to pricing and the distribution, and improve safety and quality of seafood products a central wholesale fish market with electronic auctioning system and other modern services has been in operation since April 2014 at Al-Filaij, a village of Barka in Al-Batinah Governorate (Al-Busaidi et al, 2016;Qatan et al, 2015). In addition, to maintain domestic market stability and satisfy local demand MAF has implemented export ban on selected preferred species in recent years ( Table 1).…”

“…Zaibet (2000) noted a strong interest in HACCP implementation by seafood establishments in Oman to safeguard their competitive position in the EU markets. Although, the conformity of Omani seafood products with the international quality and safety standards is the key to access lucrative markets such as the EU and maintaining international competitiveness, such conformity alters relative competitiveness to the advantage of those who are capable of adopting such standards and penalizing small-size operators in the country (Qatan et al, 2015).…”

The decline of Oman's fish exports to the European Union (EU) since mid-2000s has caused legitimate concerns among policy makers and exporters. However, the potential reasons for the decline have not been fully elucidated. To ascertain the underlying causes of such decline, this article empirically examines the relative significance of potential economic and policyrelated factors such as border rejections influenced by health and safety measures, supply and demand capacities, domestic ban, domestic structural changes, and exchange rate fluctuations on Oman's fish exports to the EU. The results obtained from the dynamic unbalanced panel data model for the period 2000-2013 indicate that fish exports to the EU markets have been influenced by the domestic ban on export, domestic structural changes, and exchange rate fluctuations rather than by border rejections. These findings provide important signal to policy makers of the respective countries in designing adaptive policy approach to address such influences.

“…It indicates that a 1% increase in the relative price, other things being equal, will stimulate a 1.44% increase in the export-supply to the EU market. It also reflects the fact that the price of seafood products in the EU market was attractive to encourage producers to supply their products relative to domestic price and is consistent with the notion of highvalue market as labeled by others (Qatan et al, 2015). In addition, the result in relation to positive growth rate of price compared with quantity in the EU market factor signals the importance of the price factor in this market.…”

This article examines the influence of relative prices, production capacity, gross domestic product, fish export and trawl fishing bans, and seasonality on Oman’s fish exports to the European Union (EU), Southeast-, East- and South Asia (SEA), and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets during 2001–2015. Following the prescribed “keep it sensibly simple” rule for practitioners and the lack of any empirical evidence to support better alternatives, a partial adjustment framework is used to describe the dynamics of fish export behavior. The appropriate functional form was decided by testing the nested Cobb–Douglas (CD) hypothesis within the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) specification and the result supports the CD specification. The models were estimated using ordinary least square (OLS). The descriptive statistical results indicate market heterogeneity in species preferences. The empirical results suggest some degree of inertia in adjustment in the EU and SEA markets. The negative impact of the “export ban” on the EU market suggests a “trade-off” between the protection of domestic consumers and the revenue forgone. The export is price elastic in the short-run for the EU market. The impact of the “trawl fishing ban” on the EU and GCC markets was negative and positive, respectively. The significance of “production capacity” for the GCC and SEA markets signals that future enhancement strategies of exports should be aligned with the long-term sustainability of fish resources. The error-correction model could be considered to check the robustness of the present findings. An examination of the sensitivity of export-supply to potential risks should also be useful.

“…The fulfillment of quality standards and safety of food products will facilitate the processing industry to obtain a product certificate that is expected to be a guarantee of product quality to be able to penetrate the wider market (Reardon, 1999 (Yuwono et al, 2012). The socialization of quality control regulations to the processing industry will bring positive changes to the quality and safety of seafood products (Qatan et al, 2015).…”

This study aims to: (1) identify the types of home industry products based on marine fishery, and (2) to determine marine fishery products that can be developed as regional leading products. Four sub-districts of coastal areas of Tanah Laut regency were chosen purposeful as study locations, namely Kurau, Jorong, Panyipatan and Takisung. Primary data collection was conducted through survey and interview to sample of marine fishery product home industry which was taken by simple random sampling. Selection of marine fisheries home industry superior product using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. The result of analysis showed that the home industries in the coastal area of Tanah Laut Regency is dominated by simple technology with the products produced in the form of traditional products, such as salted fish, fish and shrimp crackers, and “amplang” crackers, dried shrimp, shrimp paste, fish floss. The leading product alternatives of marine fisheries home industries in Tanah Laut regency are determined based on the criteria of raw material availability, raw material quality, value added product, technological mastery level, market opportunity, labor absorption, and current industrial product development condition shows that cracker product selected fish as a product that can be seeded with a total value of 0.245, the next shrimp crackers and fish/shrimp floss each with a total value of 0.221 and 0.152. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis produk industri rumah tangga berbasis perikanan laut, dan (2) menentukan olahan perikanan laut yang dapat dikembangkan sebagai produk unggulan daerah. Empat kecamatan wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Tanah Laut dipilih secara sengaja sebagai lokasi studi yaitu Kurau, Jorong, Panyipatan dan Takisung. Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan melalui survey dan wawancara terhadap sampel industri rumah tangga hasil perikanan laut yang diambil secara acak sederhana. Pemilihan produk unggulan industri rumah tangga perikanan laut menggunakan teknik Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa industri rumah tangga di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Tanah Laut didominasi industri berteknologi sederhana dengan jenis produk yang dihasilkan berupa produk tradisional, seperti ikan asin, kerupuk ikan, kerupuk udang, udang kering, terasi, amplang dan abon ikan/udang. Alternatif produk unggulan industri rumah tangga hasil perikanan laut Kabupaten Tanah Laut yang ditentukan berdasarkan kriteria ketersediaan bahan baku, mutu bahan baku, nilai tambah produk, tingkat penguasaan teknologi, peluang pasar, serapan tenaga kerja, dan kondisi pengembangan produk industri saat ini menunjukkan bahwa produk kerupuk ikan terpilih sebagai produk yang dapat diunggulkan dengan nilai total 0,245, berikutnya kerupuk udang dan abon ikan masing-masing dengan nilai total 0,221 dan 0,152 .
