| description | AbstractThis paper investigated the roles and functions performed by rural households along the inland fishery value chain in the Vhembe District Municipality in Limpopo Province. Primary data was collected from 151 fishing and non-fishing households. Descriptive statistics was employed to profile the socio-economic characteristics of households. Pearson Chi-square and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to examine the relationship between socio-economic characteristics (gender and age) of households and their function along the inland fisheries value chain. The study found a positive relationship between gender and function of consumer at 1% probability level. In addition, the correlation between age and function of input supplier and consumer were 0.293 and 0.080 respectively. Consequently, the results show that households play the role of input supplier, fishers, processor, trader and consumer. Therefore, the study calls on the government to create an enabling environment that will encourage households to partake in the value chain of inland fisheries to promote rural livelihoods and to encourage women to participate in inland fisheries. |
