Fisheries and the right to food 2012, para. 27
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The employment benefits from the increase of commercial exports must be weighed against the costs. Such an increase may lead to demand-led overfishing and sharpen the competition for resources between industrial and small-scale fishing. Export increases may over time lead to the loss of jobs for fishers in the small-scale sector. In Argentina, for example, the considerable expansion of industrial pelagic fisheries in the 1990s saw the gradual control of those fisheries by foreign-owned fishing enterprises, which displaced smaller, more labour-intensive local companies. The growth of export-oriented fisheries may also lead to employment losses for the fish processors working in the small-scale sector supplying local or regional markets, as was seen in Kenya with the growth in commercial exports of Nile perch to Europe.
