A stakeholder engagement process is required to gather broad NT fishery and aquaculture sector input into the RD& E priorities of the region. This information will inform the eventual development of the NTRAC RD&E Plan in 2017.
This project addresses an immediate need to elicit stakeholder priorities and provide an analysis of these to the NT RAC on 20th October 2017.No NT RAC members are resourced to undertake the stakeholder engagement process. The committee considered that the use of an independent consultant would facilitate completion and enhance the transparency of the process.
A strategic RD& E Plan is needed for fisheries in the NT to focus and guide the investment of the small amount of funding available to the NT, ensuring efficient use of research funds and maximizing the value of opportunities.
NT RAC has not previously had a strategic RD&E Plan. Previously priorities of government and others have been used where available to inform the investment direction e.g. NT Fisheries Strategic Research and Development Plan. However, for most stakeholder groups, there are no documented strategic directions for RD&E, and the process has thus been ad hoc, prone to short term and knee jerk responses and could be subject to bias.
It is important for NTRAC to produce RD & E priorities that are representative of the sector so NTRAC can then feed them into the national focus and maximize the opportunity to contribute to national directions.
NTRAC wants to ensure all NT sector stakeholders have a say by eliciting priorities from different stakeholder groups, identify commonalties and opportunities for collaboration.
NTRAC will use the outcomes of this stakeholder engagement process to communicate RD & E priorities at the national level enabling opportunities for the promotion of collaboration and partnership across jurisdictions.

Although a $2.7 billion industry,the Australian Seafood lags behind otherp rimary producers in its ability to centrally organise, market and represent itself to consumers,regulators and the general public.
There remains a strong need for seafood producers (fishers and farmers) to understand the curren seafood market, supply chainand advances in product development and marketing.
A marketing symposium would provide industry with an update on the current trends and approaches, it would further benefit industry by benefit industry by:
1. Informing participants how effective marketing works
2. Inspiring participants with practical examples of effective marketing they could apply at a sector, category or company level.
3. Showcase examples of effective marketing for domestic demand, export, trade and industry goodwill
4. Identify and explain new marketing channels and the opportunities they present
5. Demonstrating how to incorporate a systematic approach to developing a brand
6. Identifying meaningful and distinct consumer markets through market segmentation
It is clear that the priority audience for the symposium are fishers and farmers looking to improve their profitabulity

The initial proposal to hold a marketing symposium in Queensland was based on the need to bring Industry together with particular reference to the post-harvest sector to provide, exchange and discuss information in an open forum regarding trends and/or needs in the existing value chain process which will lead to product reaching its market in ultimate post-harvest condition and value. Concepts of market brands, brand orientation, consumer trends, market segmentation, packaging and distribution were all key elements of the symposium subject matter.
One of the key messages that resonated strongly throughout the symposium was that as an industry, we don’t communicate with consumers or the community in general about how sustainable Queensland Seafood is or its value in terms of nutrition and wholesomeness. Similarly, the sustainability message of how our industry operates is also absent in our marketing.
There was a strong consensus amongst the delegates that these areas should be addressed, and that perhaps the central theme of the next symposium should be what effective strategies and methods should we as an Industry consider in engaging and creating awareness within the community as to our high level of sustainable practice and social responsibility.

The proposed study will produce information about the supply-chain economic contribution of selected small scale fisheries in Western Australia, as well as a method that can be applied to making these estimates for other fisheries.
The proposed approach includes making three separate estimates of the supply-chain contribution of selected fisheries using three different levels of information: (1 – minimal cost) published fishery production data and a regional economic model that describes inter-regional flows using published statistical data, (2 – minimum consultation) the same as 1 but also including a workshop with key stakeholders to inform the assumptions, and (3 – maximum data) the same as 2 but also collecting primary data from businesses along the supply-chain. As such, the estimates produced for the selected fisheries using approach 3 will be of high quality and the recommended method described in the guidelines will be informed by a comparison of the cost and performance of undertaking the analysis using each level of information.
Three approaches to obtain supply chain data will be utilised and compared in this project. Below summarises the set of data sources within each approach.
Minimal cost approach
Fishery production statistics: Published production statistics (State of the Fisheries 2020/21*) or data request to DPIRD
Fishery financials and employment: Published profiles (if available) or matched fisheries (as per 2017-210)
Supply-chain flows: Analysis of regional input-output tables, taken as given
Supply-chain financials and employment: Analysis of regional input-output tables
Minimal consultation approach
Fishery production statistics: Published production statistics (State of the Fisheries 2020/21*) or data request to DPIRD
Fishery financials and employment: Published profiles (if available) or matched fisheries (as per 2017-210)
Supply-chain flows: Estimated by workshop with stakeholders, starting from input-output table estimates
Supply-chain financials and employment: Analysis of regional input-output tables
Maximum data approach
Fishery production statistics: Published production statistics (State of the Fisheries 2020/21*) or data request to DPIRD
Fishery financials and employment: Primary data
Supply-chain flows: Primary data
Supply-chain financials and employment: Primary data

Key to estimating the supply-chain flows for the low-data approaches, we will apply the direct coefficients from input-output tables within our RISE models to the value of each fishery to estimate the value of each node of the supply chain for each fishery. The input-output model tells us for each dollar of sales from the fishing sector there are sales to other sectors (i.e. processing, wholesale trade, retail trade, food services). Subsequently, those sectors also have sales to other sectors. By applying these coefficients in sequence we can estimate the value of each node of the supply chain. Data for input-output models are held by BDO and ultimately sourced from publications by ABS, RBA, ATO and other public organisations.
Under the minimal consultation approach, we will refine the supply-chain map developed under the minimal cost approach by eliciting judgement by key stakeholders. These stakeholders will have an idea of the size of the supply chain nodes and will be able to confirm or adjust the values according to their knowledge.
Under the maximum data approach, we will interview businesses along the supply chain in order to collect data to value each supply chain node. We will elicit the value of each business and the number and size of businesses at each node. Information on the number and approximate size of businesses at each supply chain node will be sought from industry participants at the workshop. Contact details for businesses willing to be involved in the interview process with also be sought at the workshop.
1. To recommend a method to map and value the supply chain of small scale fisheries in WA and to estimate the economic contribution at each node of the supply chain, including options for addressing gaps in data availability.
2. To develop an extension to the Australian Fisheries and Aquaculture Industry 2017/18 Practitioner Guidelines, for assessing supply chains and economic contributions of small-scale fisheries.

This study aimed to produce information about the economic contribution of the supply chain of selected small-scale fisheries in Western Australia (WA), as well as a method that can be applied to making these estimates for other fisheries. Substantial research has been completed to estimate the economic contribution of commercial fisheries to Australia and its regional communities, and to produce guidelines that practitioners can apply to update and regionalise these estimates. However, past research has largely focused on the ‘upstream’ activity (the flow-on effects from commercial fishing from expenditure on inputs to fishing and expenditure of income derived from fishing). Little work has been done to describe the ‘downstream’ activity (what happens to the seafood product throughout the supply chain after it has been landed, that is, as the product moves from the point of landing to final consumers), the focus of this study. This study makes three separate estimates of the economic contribution of a selection of case study fishery supply chains using three different levels of information. It then compares the sets of results for each case study to make conclusions about the quality versus cost of the approaches.
