This Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper presents the findings of a value chain analysis of the aquafeed (aquatic animal feed) sub-sector for the striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) farming in Viet Nam, including a review of aquafeed regulatory framework in the country. The striped catfish (pangasius) production sub-sector is characterized by intensive pond production technology and high-quality production inputs. In 2014, annual production of pangasius was 1 143 797 tonnes. The key actors in the value chain comprise input suppliers, including feed ingredients suppliers, feed manufacturers, and hatchery operators (seed producers), along with fingerling and grow-out farmers, fish processors, exporters, consumers and service providers. In recent years, large-scale vertically integrated enterprises have started to emerge that operate along the entire value chain, and these now dominate many areas of production.

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)-funded Improving Employment and Income through Development of Egypt’s Aquaculture Sector (IEIDEAS) project was implemented by WorldFish in partnership with CARE Egypt and the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation from 2011 to 2014 and later extended to November 2015. The project focused on four governorates with significant aquaculture production (Kafr El Sheikh, Behera, Sharkia and Fayoum) and one governorate (El Mineya), where aquaculture was a new activity. The project was based on a value chain analysis conducted by WorldFish in September 2011 that identified the aquaculture value chain as a significant employer, particularly in rural areas. The analysis suggested that there was scope to increase employment of youth and women in the aquaculture sector The main objective was to increase aquaculture production by 10% and create 10,000 jobs. Other objectives included improving profitability for existing producers, securing employment for women fish retailers, expanding aquaculture in El Mineya and improving the policy environment for aquaculture.

Food and Feed Safety Systems and Analysis discusses the integration of food safety with recent research developments in food borne pathogens. The book covers food systems, food borne ecology, how to conduct research on food safety and food borne pathogens, and developing educational materials to train incoming professionals in the field. Topics include data analysis and cyber security for food safety systems, control of food borne pathogens and supply chain logistics. The book uniquely covers current food safety perspectives on integrating food systems concepts into pet food manufacturing, as well as data analyses aspects of food systems. - Explores cutting edge research about emerging issues associated with food safety - Includes new research on understanding foodborne Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli - Presents foodborne pathogens and whole genome sequencing applications - Provides concepts and issues related to pet and animal feed safety

India is the second-largest food producer and has the potential to be the largest food and agriculture producer. Food processing is one of India's largest and largest industries-it ranks fifth. Food industry is on a high as Indians are still having a feast. Full by what can be called a defensive component for the last disposable income in any industry. A marked shift in consumption patterns has been observed in the food sector, especially in terms of milk. Accounting for around 33 percent of the world's total food sector, one of India's largest food processing industries, the food processing industry ranks fifth in revenue. Overall food production in India is projected to double over the next 10 years, with domestic food market countries predicted to be the world with US$ 258 billion by 2015. In the near future we contribute as much as 9 to 10 percent of GDP in the agricultural and manufacturing sector, the food processing industry forms an important segment of the Indian as well as Maharashtra economy in countries. Maharashtra occupies an area of around 3 lakh sq km and has a population of more than 12 crores. The state contributing to the Indian food processing industry is about 13% and can increasing its focus by 25%. Its range includes various cereals, fruits, vegetables , dairy products, and fishery products.
