摘要

Globalisation in the retail sector is transforming food value chains by driving consolidation in the industry and extending supply chains across the globe. Globalisation enables retailers to benefit from economies of scale and cheaper production in foreign locations. However, food markets themselves are increasingly responding to local consumer preferences. In response, retailers are using their own standards to differentiate how their products meet these preferences. This further alters value chainsby creating direct links between retailers and producers in order to ensure quality and traceability. The growth in supermarket own-brands and links to established and evolving ecolabels has occurred in markets without a parallel development in institutions, leaving retailers as the 'gatekeepers' of consumer standards in some areas. This role raises policy issues regarding the responsibilities of public regulators, the potential effects of private standards on trade patterns and, more broadly, issues of accountability in the international system. This paper addresses the development of retailers as the gatekeepers of food standards in the fisheries sector, evaluates their impact on global supply chains and discusses the use of seafood products as a leading category of retailers' own standards. This paper explores the policy challenges facing governments and consumers in determining the legitimacy of such standards, what role regulation might take, and what obstacles may be encountered.
