Impact of the Drawback Mechanisms in the Chilean Salmon Industry

A B S T R A C T Marine fisheries sector in India is significant because it contributes to the earnings in foreign exchange and also provides livelihood to many people in the country. The production in marine sector has shown 2.47 percent growth during the last ten years. As the development of the marine sector depends on states policies the growth in this sector varies from state to state. There is a need to look into the development policies of the states related to marine fisheries especially in the states such as Kerala where the growth rate has shown as negative. The growth rate in export of marine products showed that in the year 2002-03, the value of marine products from India was US $1425 million whereas it has reached upto US $ 5008 million in the year 2013-14. It shows more than 3 times growth in the export of marine products during last 12 years. The export shows that Japan, USA, European Union, South East Asia including China and the Middle East are the major destinations for Indian marine products. The results of Markov chain analysis shown that South East Asian countries were the most loyal nations with the retention of the share of 73 percent, followed by 65 percent retention by European Union and 58 percent and 52 percent retention by Japan and USA. ndia is the second largest producer of fish in the world contributing to 5.68 percent of global fish production. India is also a major producer of fish through aquaculture and ranks second in the world after China. Fisheries sector occupies a very important place in the socioeconomic development of the country. It has been recognized as a powerful income and employment generator as it stimulates growth of a number of subsidiary industries, and is a source of cheap and nutritious food besides being a foreign exchange earner. Most importantly, it is the source of livelihood for a large section of economically backward population of the country. The fisheries sector is a source of livelihood for over 14.49 million people engaged fully, partially or in subsidiary activities pertaining to the sector. Besides, an equal number are engaged in ancillary activities in fisheries and aquaculture (Rajmohan and Jebadurai 2014). Development of fisheries can ensure food security as well as tackle unemployment in these regions that are predominately inhabited by rural populace. The total fish production during 2013-14 is at 9.58 million metric tonnes with a contribution of 6.14 million metric tonnes from inland sector and 3.44 million metric tonnes from marine sector respectively. The overall growth in fish production in 2013-14 has been 5.9 per cent, which has been mainly due to 7.3 per cent growth in inland fish production. The growth in marine fish production has been 3.7 per cent (Anonymous 2014). There has been steady growth in the export of fish and fish products over the period. Efforts are being made to boost the export potential through diversification of products for export. During 2013-14 the volume of fish and fish products exported was 9,83,756 tonnes worth ₹ 30213.26 crores. Hence, present investigation was undertaken to analyze the production and export of marine products from India. The compound annual growth rate analysis was carried out to ascertain the growth in production and export of marine products from India. To know the variation in the production of fish over the years, the coefficient of variation (CV) was worked out by employing following formula: Coefficient of variation (%) = SD × 100 Mean Markov chain analysis The structural change in exports was examined using the Markov chain approach. Central to Markov chain analysis was the estimation of the transitional probability matrix P. The element P ij of this matrix indicates the I 1681

Commercial salmon and trout farming has emerged as a major industry in Chile during the 1990s. Salmon is not a native species to Chile, still excellent climatic conditions are provided for farming. Since 1992 Chile has been the second largest producer of farmed salmon and trout in the world after Norway. This report reviews the development of the Chilean salmonid industry from its early stages until today with respect to production patterns, legislation and main markets. A cost comparison between Chilean and Norwegian farmed salmon is also provided. Finally, the international competitiveness and future challenges of the Chilean salmonid farming industry are analysed.

This study analyzes the trends and determines the comparative advantage and competitiveness of India's fish and fishery products trade in the world market and of India's exports to 10 major destinations over the period of 2000-2021. We use the revealed symmetric comparative advantage (RSCA) index to quantify India's comparative advantage in exporting fish and fishery products and the Vollrath index to measure the revealed competitiveness of the country's fish and fishery products trade. We collected relevant data at Harmonized System (HS) four-digit level from the UN Commodity Trade (UN Comtrade) database. Our analysis shows that India has a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) in exporting fish and fishery products to the world market. Specifically, India has a comparative advantage in exporting frozen fish, crustaceans, and mollusks; but it has a comparative disadvantage in exporting live fish, fresh and chilled fish, fish fillets and other fish meat, and dried/salted/in-brine and smoked fish to the world market. In terms of individual destinations, India has RCA in exporting live fish to Hong Kong; fresh and chilled fish to UAE (in recent years); frozen fish to China, Hong Kong, Thailand (recent years), and Vietnam (recent years); fish fillets and other fish meat to Japan (recent years); dried fish to Hong Kong; crustaceans to Japan, the US, and Canada (recent years); mollusks to the EU, Thailand (recent years), and Vietnam (recent years); and other aquatic invertebrates to Vietnam. India has a comparative disadvantage (RCD) in exporting fresh and chilled fish to the EU, Japan, the US, and Vietnam, and fish fillet and other fish meat to the US, Canada, and Vietnam. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected India's export, comparative advantage, and trade competitiveness of fish and fishery products. India's RCA and competitiveness in exporting fish and fishery products decreased in 2018-2020, but the RCA and competitiveness increased by 2021.

This paper examines firms' competitiveness in the seafood processing industry in Vietnam and policy changes for global integration. We find that trade liberalization is a very important policy change that has generally positive impacts and generates strong reactions in the seafood processing industry. Exchange rate depreciation is also an important factor and receives strong responsiveness as most of firms' intermediate inputs are tradable and seafood products are also tradable. Increasing electricity charges that reduce profitability also generate strong reactions. Oil and petrol comprise a small portion of intermediate inputs, hence increasing the oil price does not significantly hinder the industry and does not stimulate very strong reactions. The US anti-dumping tariff strongly hurts firms' profitability, not only seafood exporting firms but also non-exporters. Statistics Office (GSO) of Vietnam. Data from these surveys excluded non-state enterprises having less than 10 employees. 522 d. t. hong and q. v. le paper is to apply a supply model to analyse the competitiveness of seafood processing firms in different policy scenarios as envisaged in the current reform agenda. Profitability will be used as an indicator to measure the level of a firm's competitiveness with the assumption that the higher the profitability, the larger market share and the more competitive the firm becomes. In addition, through the supply function, we measure the level of firms' reactions in response to these policy changes in order to maximize profitability after experiencing price shocks.

The present study analysed the export competitiveness of Indian shrimp. The index of instability for the overall seafood exports from India was 0.17 for the period 1991-2010. Shrimp is the major seafood export item of India with a growth rate of 2.89% and 10.47% in terms of quantity and value of exports respectively, during 1991-2011. Share of Indian shrimp in the world market declined slightly from 7.01% in 1990-1992 to 6.25% in 2008-2010 while the shares of China, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia increased owning to value addition and re-export of processed shrimp from these countries. Unit value realisation for Indian shrimp was US $ 5.69 per kg in 2009. All the major exporting countries experienced a decline in the unit value realisation due to changing supply-demand pattern and global slowdown. Export competitiveness index for Indian shrimp remained at 1.00 following a decline in the past few years. Revealed competitiveness index for Indian shrimp was 1.65 in the year 2009 indic...
