Synopsis (short abstract) In addition to offering an extensive exhibition area where fisheries stakeholders can meet and discuss international market trends, CONXEMAR will host the eighth edition of the FAO-CONXEMAR Congress, taking place on 30 September 2019. This year, the congress will focus on social sustainability, which has become a major concern in the fisheries sector due to incidents of labour right violations and human rights abuses found at different stages of the fisheries value chain. Industry experts from across the globe will participate in a series of panel discussions aimed at deepening commitment to the issue of social sustainability.

Vigo Dialogue on decent work in fisheries and aquaculture. Fish is one of the world’s most traded food commodities with millions of people depending on fisheries as a source of jobs, income and livelihoods. In 2016, FAO data indicates that 59 million people were directly engaged in the primary sector of capture fisheries and aquaculture. Numerous international and national initiatives are now calling for increased social responsibility and improvements of social and labour conditions in fisheries value chains. Such initiatives are increasingly supported by governments, non-governmental organizations, industry, certification schemes and international governmental organizations and agencies.
