Data and information collected through field surveys, interviews, and interactions with different stakeholders in Bangladesh, Thailand and Japan were analyzed and used as the basis of the paper. The results reveal that the competent authority monitors the hygiene and sanitation condition of the buyer-driven value chain activities, whereas processors-cum-exporters implement HACCP procedures about 85% to 90% in all stages of production, distribution, processing and export of shrimp to assure the quality standards. ‘Shrimp suppliers certificate’ and ‘farmers and region code’ in Bangladesh while ‘movement document’ and ‘fry movement document’ in Thailand are used as traceability tools. Both the countries have already started working for certification, eco-labeling and sustainable seafood trade. However, it is recommended to ensure chain traceability together with improved management to increase products’ competitiveness.}, pages = {1--19}, title = {VALUE CHAINS AND STANDARDS IN SHRIMP EXPORT}, year = {2008} }
