African countries have been urged to strengthen potential for increased trade in fish. So far trade is constrained by inadequate market, trade infrastructure and poor policy implementation. High transport costs, complex and unaligned trade rules and poor market information also prevent Africa from optimizing the social and economic benefits available. the African union through its ‘fish trade for a better future’ initiative, funded by the European commission, is expected to help strengthen value chains and, with a focus on sustainability, give better access to intra-regional markets and subsequently improve food and nutritional security and income in sub-Saharan Africa.
