Chilean national seafood consumption policy development

Overview

Chile is developing its first National Policy for the Responsible Consumption of Seafood. The initiative involves the Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture (Subpesca) and various stakeholders, including the National Confederation of Artisanal Fishermen (CONAPACH).

CONAPACH has advocated for strategies to increase consumption by adding value to artisanal products, such as establishing processing plants and promoting direct trade to reduce intermediary costs. The group also noted the success of pilot programs distributing seafood to school meal programs.

To refine the policy, Subpesca is collaborating with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop a methodology for gathering diverse regional perspectives. This collaboration aims to adapt participatory methodologies used in previous school feeding policies to ensure the new seafood consumption framework accounts for specific regional needs and stakeholder segments.
