81 words

The research will analyze value chain of Barbus paludinosus and Oreochromis shiranus chilwae from Lake Chilwa in Malawi. It will examine problems of asymmetric bargaining power in fish sales and information flow on the distribution of benefits along the value chain. Specifically, this research will analyze chain governance, its impact to the actors along the value chain, conduct value chain mapping, analyze cost efficiency and assess income distribution and livelihoods. Data collection will be through focus group discussions, interviews and observations.
