Food loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in Sri Lanka
This study aimed to review the overall status of food loss and waste (FLW) along the fisheries value chains in Sri Lanka, enabling the FLW to be well understood and the focus of further FLW assessments and solutions. The value chains of marine and inland and aquaculture sectors were found to be pillars of fisheries production in the country. Yellowfin tuna and skipjack tuna contribute significantly to deep-sea fishing and are crucial for fisheries export earnings. Coastal fisheries made up 58 percent of marine catch and brought a variety of fish, mainly targeting local consumption. The study recommends yellowfin tuna, skipjack tuna, Shortfin Scad or Mackerel fish (Decapterus macrosoma), of marine fisheries and tilapia from inland fisheries and smoked fish industry from processing were recommended for further FLW assessments along with recommendations for FLW reduction solutions in Sri Lanka.
