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.
