Success factors in aquaculture enterprises in the Pacific. Farm Assets and farm performance of private aquaculture enterprises - A case study.
Documents - Report: Technical report
30 Nov 2013
Four enterprises in four different Pacific Island Countries provide the information for this case study. The relevance of the case enterprises is set into the Pacific Region context by crosschecking their attributes and the lessons that they provide against the regional issues in and aspirations for aquaculture development. One regional as well as global issue is the compatibility of the goal of food security and profitability; the study shows evidence they are not incompatible and that they can in fact strengthen each other. The cases also demonstrate business models and government interventions that provide economic incentives to farmers to stay in farming without dependence on gratuities and market-distorting subsidies that also tend to reduce self-reliance of farmers.
