aquaculture value chains

Aquaculture value chains describe the sequence of activities involved in producing aquatic products, from farming aquatic animals like fish, shrimp, or shellfish to delivering them to consumers. This includes breeding, raising, harvesting, processing, packaging, and marketing. Each step adds value, creates employment, and impacts quality and price. Effective management of this chain ensures sustainable practices, reduces waste, and increases profitability while meeting market demand. Overall, it connects farmers, processors, traders, and consumers in a coordinated system that supports economic growth and food security.
