Fair Enough? Food Security and the International Trade of Seafood
Abstract
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.Does international trade make all parties better off? We study
the relationship between food security and the international trade of fish and seafood
between developing and developed countries. Specifically, we look at and discuss the
evolution of trade flows - values, quantities, and prices - between developing and
developed countries. The picture that emerges suggests that the quantity of seafood
exported from developing countries to developed countries is close to the quantity
of seafood imported by developing countries from developed countries. What takes place
is a quality exchange: developing countries export high-quality seafood in exchange
for lower quality seafood.
