Offer · Sector, market and value chain studies
See how a sector really works before you act.
Who earns what, where value is lost, what holds producers back. Our studies and assessments map whole markets and value chains, and turn what we find into choices you can act on. We also run baseline studies, mid-term reviews and impact assessments, to show what programmes have changed.

A decision is due on a sector no one has measured.
Ministries, public agencies, funders, programmes and NGOs have to decide on a policy, a programme or its next phase. The reliable data to understand the sector is often missing.
- How does this value chain work, from supplier to consumer?
- Where is value lost, and who captures the margins?
- What holds back small producers and women?
- What did the last programme really change?

Case · Aquaculture
Mapping Cambodia’s farmed fish market across ten provinces.
- The problem
- Cambodian aquaculture is growing fast, but the Fisheries Administration lacked market information: competitive imports, fragmented chains, opaque prices.
- Our role
- Mapping of the whole farmed fish value chain in ten provinces, from feed and hatcheries to importers, including landing sites and cross-border flows.
- What we delivered
- A quantified diagnosis of costs, prices, volumes and margins for the main species, the barriers faced by small producers and women, and four recommendations to give producers back a share of the value.
- Who for
- The Fisheries Administration, in a programme funded by AFD.
