SUMMARY:Enhancing trade opportunities for LDCs and SIDS through the fisheri
 es sector: Addressing challenges imposed by international food standards
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:\n​The side event will help to build consensus on how to best
  enhance export opportunities for LDCs and SIDS by tapping the potential o
 f their fisheries resources.\n\nThis can be done through policies that cov
 er trade\, resources management and employment but also through targeted t
 echnical assistance and capacity building activities. Drawing on the exper
 ience of LDCs and SIDS\, national and international experts as well as par
 ticipants from member States will discuss ways of overcoming the difficult
 ies in exporting fisheries products.\n\nParticipants in the event will als
 o have the opportunity to consider how regional integration and cooperatio
 n will assist LDCs and SIDS to join value chains. \n\nThese value chains 
 are made more accessible by addressing key technical\, regulatory and inst
 itutional challenges facing the fishery sector\, especially in regionally 
 shared water resources. In the experience of many countries\, the practice
  of selling fishing rights is a convenient but not always welfare-maximizi
 ng way to benefit from this natural resource.\n&lt\;p class=&quot\;Externa
