“…This indicates that vertical integration is an important element of the poultry value chain, particularly where there is a formal structure in the value chain. This is unlike the types of linkages found in the work of Jespersen et al (2014) where they largely varied both within the value chains and across countries. However, it can be concluded that upstream relationships between farmers and processors were mostly captive, while downstream relationships between importers and processors are generally market and captive.…”

“…The findings of Jespersen et al (2014) provide a great deal of guidance for this paper. First, the finding on the lack of importance of one form of coordination in one key node underscores the importance of understanding power in the entire chain, rather than coordination between individual nodes.…”

“…This research followed the descriptive framework formulated by Ponte & Sturgeon (2014) and applied by Jespersen et al (2014) and in their studies of the aquaculture industry across four Asian countries. The four countries in this study, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, were chosen because of the importance of the poultry industry in each country, their geographic proximity to each other (and thus the potential for regional integration through trade) and the growth rates of the poultry industry in the southern African region as a whole.…”

“…The modular analysis of governance has been applied by Jespersen et al (2014) in their analysis of governance in the selected aquaculture industries in Bangladesh, China, Thailand and Vietnam. They highlighted the relationships between farmers and processors at one end and processors and importers at the other end.…”

“…In Bangladesh, the coordination type between farmers and processors is market as there are many small fish farmers who generally sell their produce locally via auction or through exporters. Jespersen et al (2014) made a few key findings. First, one form of coordination in a key node does not determine the governance in the entire chain.…”

Following various regional investments in the last decade, production and participation in the poultry value chain in southern Africa has increased. One of the factors that determines entry into, and success in, a global value chain is the governance structure. This paper adopts a modular approach to analyse the governance structures in the poultry value chains in Botswana, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. A key finding is that various stakeholders have an influence on the regional poultry value chain in southern Africa, with the sources of influence depending on the formality of structures within the value chain.

To meet the Convention on Biological Diversity0 s Aichi Target 11 on marine biodiversity protection and Aichi Target 6 on sustainable fisheries by 2020, as well as the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 on food security and SDG 14 on oceans by 2030, there is an urgent need to rethink how best to reconcile nature conservation and sustainable development. 4. It is recognized that aquaculture is an important activity in terms of sustainable development. It can play a role in providing food security, poverty alleviation and economic resilience, in particular for MPA local communities, and contribute to wild stock enhancement, as an alternative to overfishing and for providing services to the ecosystem.5. This study showed that there is a need from both aquaculture and MPA sides for clarity of objectives and willingness for open and extensive dialogue. The paper concludes by describing a number of tools and methods for supporting greater synergies between aquaculture and MPAs.6. The results from this work have already helped to build a common understanding between conservation and aquaculture and initiate a rapprochement for increasing synergies.KEYWORDS aquaculture, ecosystem approach, environmental impact assessment, littoral, marine protected area, ocean, sublittoral

The aim of the study was to examine similarities in notifications on main hazards within food reported in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) in 1979–2017. The main problems were mycotoxins in nuts, pathogenic microorganisms in poultry meat and fish, pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, and heavy metals in fish. The increase in the number of notifications has been observed since 2002/2003. Products were notified mainly by Italy, Germany, and United Kingdom and originated from Asian and European Union countries. The notification basis was border control and official control, and the notification type was border rejections, information, and alerts. Notified products were not distributed and not placed on the market, distribution status could be also not specified, or distribution was possible, also to other countries. The risk decision on hazard was usually not made. Products were redispatched, withdrawn from the market, and destroyed, or import was not authorized. Remarks, which can be used to improve the RASFF database, were also presented. It was further pointed out that European law should significantly reduce the use of pesticides, drugs, and food additives, and European agriculture should be reoriented from an intensive farming to a more sustainable and ecological one.
