This summary document provides key findings and recommendations from a Value Chain Analysis study, conducted in late 2016 to assess the General Santos City tuna industry. The research was a key first step in understanding the catch documentation and traceability (CDT) processes and requirements along the value chain, identify the main exporting markets and explore market/buyer requirements and customer preferences. In turn, this study will support the CDT design approach, partnership development and industry engagement in General Santos and along the value chain.
