A first ever mapping and analysis of the commercial seafood chain in Lebanon was conducted in
2017. This study was carried out to better understand the existing fisheries market in Lebanon in
order to map the flows of products throughout the different stages of the commercial seafood
chain. This allowed for the identification of critical factors, challenges, and opportunities to improve
the efficiency of the chain in Lebanon.
