  1. Flavio Corsin NACA experiences on better management, surveillance and traceability

  2. Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific AustraliaBangladesh Cambodia China Hong Kong SAR IndiaIndonesiaI.R. IranKorea (DPR) MalaysiaMyanmarNepalPakistanPhilippinesSri LankaThailandVietnam Promote rural development through sustainable aquaculture

  3. Aquaculture worldwide • Fastest growing food producing sector • Accounts for more than 1/3 of total fisheries sector 146 mmt 91 mmt 55 mmt

  4. Aquaculture in Asia-Pacific • 90% of world aquaculture production! • Huge economic importance • Major foreign currency earner • Food consumption and security • 2/3 of fisheries products available for consumption are consumed in Asia! • Employment • about 20 million people full-time One important example: shrimp farming

  5. Shrimp farming • Global shrimp production (in 2003) • 1.8 million metric tons • Valued USD 9.3 billion • Asia produced (in 2003) • 1.5 m.m.t. (83% of the global production) • Valued USD 7.8 billion • Rapidly growing in recent years • China 3.4-fold increase (1998→2003) • Vietnam 4.5-fold increase (1998→2003)

  6. Global shrimp production

  7. Major challenges • New diseases with old impacts • Environmental degradation • Self-pollution • Deterioration of resources (e.g. salinization) • Increasingly stringent markets • Healthier products (limit antibiotic residues) • Traceability • Antidumping • Allegations for poor socio-economical sustainability • Declining prices paid to farmers

  8. Need forbetter = more sustainableways to do shrimp farming!

  9. Responsible shrimp farming • FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries • Principles for responsible shrimp farming • Consortium program (1999)(NACA, WB, WWF, FAO, UNEP, …) • NACA supports implementation of principles by: • promoting Better Management Practices (BMP) to farmers and through the whole supply chain • Supporting countries to develop systems in support to BMP implementation (national strategies, surveillance)

  10. Better Management Practices • BMP are practices that target: • Environment protection • Improved shrimp health • Improved food safety • Socio-economic sustainability • Profitable farming

  11. Better Management Practices • Simple • Practical • Cost-effective • Applicable by all, especially small-scale farmers • System/time specific

  12. Better Management Practices • Focus on working in groups • Reduced risk of failure (seed selection, water management) • Increased trading power (buying seed, selling product) • Include compliance to systems • Surveillance & contingency planning • Traceability (record keeping)

  13. Surveillance system & Contingency planning • A system to: • Detect emergencies quickly and accurately • Allow sharing of info with all stakeholders involved • Extension workers • Other farming communities • Local & national authorities • Researchers/diagnostic laboratories • Allow a prompt reaction to the information • Disease control • Disease prevention in areas not yet affected (early warning) • Allow collection of accurate info on production • Must be cost effective and affordable by all • Must have “ownership” by all • NACA/FAO/OIE regional reporting system

  14. Traceability • Requirement of importing countries (EU, US,…) • Food safety • Bioterrorisms • Record keeping is critical • Concerns about small-scale producers • But also opportunities for small-scale producers in creating links between consumers and producers, for the benefit of both? All Edible products, despite of their origin, will have to be accompanied by detailed information on source, production system and processing procedures so as to make consumers, sanitary and inspection institutions able to follow back and forward (one step each direction) the distribution stream of the product

  15. NACA Pilot projects • Started in India • Strong program in Vietnam • Also other countries • Indonesia • Thailand • Iran • Mainly working with shrimp but also marine fish and other commodities (not for export)

  16. NACA Pilot projects - India • Started in 2001 in 1 state • Now >1000 ponds (650ha) in 5 states • Government promoted • Aquaclubs • Contract hatcheries • Over the years • Better yield (by 30%) • Reduced diseases (by 60%) • Sometimes reduced cost of production! • Better quality product • Now exploring traceability & market access for BMP products

  17. NACA Pilot projects - Viet Nam • BMP program started in 2004 with about 300 farmers (Danish government funded) • Now incorporated into government efforts: country-wide dissemination! • Activities at all levels (farmers, authorities,…) • Farm results • Lower risk of diseases • Higher yield • Improved probability of making a profit • Good quality product • Authorities (local, national) • Develop legislation and extension material • Develop strategies and systems (surveillance, traceability…)

  18. Viet Nam – Surveillance system • Use mobile phones to send coded SMS to a centralized database • Web-based access to data • Piloted in 5 provinces • 34 communes & enumerators • 20 ponds/commune (total 680 ponds) • Accurate information recorded • Some problems in getting feedback • Will use GIS • Vietnam very interested in continuing

  19. Vietnam - Traceability • Based on record keeping • Pond books designed to fit farmer requirements • Accurate data collected but not yet sent to database • Other projects piloted use of mobile phones • Small scale farmers must be able to comply!

  20. Farmers Farmers Farmers Farmers OASIS Vietnam - OASIS • BMP – Surveillance – Traceability • All can come together: farmer groups/OASIS • One-stop Aquaculture Shop and Info System BMP materialMarket infoAqua inputs Surveillance & Traceability info

  21. How can APAN help? • Provide network of expertise for: • Developing surveillance and traceability systems • Developing robust system to provide farmers with information (extension , market, …) • Use EM data in support to sustainable aquaculture development (where? when?) • Also links on capture fisheries • NACA eager to collaborate & provide aquaculture expertise through its regional links
