27% of the 35% of the global global landings lost and 9-15% due to fish landings lost discarded at sea (2016) Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year gets lost or wasted: around 1.3 billion tonnes Source: FAO, 2011.

Reducing losses is an important development goal in the fisheries sector, and is globally recognized as a challenge that needs to be addressed. Reducing losses is not straightforward owing to the multiplicity of species, fishing gear and methods, as well as numerous dispersed and inaccessible landing sites especially in small-scale fisheries. Availability and Quality of Information Poor quality and often not produced or distributed in a timely manner. Poor quality of information leads to substandard guidelines o general sense of distrust on fishery information o results in very limited use or no use of this information
No single repository of loss scenarios and loss reduction options
Rationale: Outcome of 32nd session of COFI The Committee : highlighted the importance of reducing food waste and losses supported the development of an FAO technical guideline addressing the causes of and remedies to food losses and waste. • “Practical Guidance to Inform Policy on Addressing Common Loss Scenarios from Pre-harvest to Consumption Stages in Fisheries and Aquaculture Project” • was funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries
