dc.description.abstractThis policy brief reports findings from research investigating the impacts of Covid-19 regulations and mitigation measures on small-scale fishers in the Western Cape, South Africa. It provides specific and doable recommendations. Lockdown regulations have highlighted the lack of resilience among small-scale producers and traders within the complex national food system. A more localised food system should be supported and prioritised with the assistance of the state. The informal sector of small-scale food producers, processors, and traders increasingly came to depend on buyers in the formal sector: big fishing companies and supermarket chains who could also afford to buy them out.en
