Value-chains and market integration in a European fishing industry
This paper examines the modern Norwegian-Spanish salted fish trade.Using a conceptual approach, we adopt a socio-economic interpretation of international seafood trade that emphasizes the themes of value chains, food conventions, and governance institutions.The discussion concerns the implications of governance structures for the adaptation of conventions across units of the value chain.The formal conventions of the Norwegian component of the value chain, combined with its fragmented structure, prevent adaptive development by local Norwegian producers for the contemporary Spanish salted fish product market.Instead, Norwegian producers retain their place with traditional products in established but less influential value chains.
