Shrimp value chains in Bangladesh: A scoping study of possible research interventions
Author: Kabir, Razin IqbalPublisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Shrimp is Bangladesh’s main agricultural export and makes a substantial contribution to the economy of southern Bangladesh, but the sector has a checkered history. Bangladesh’s shrimp production and exports have been in steady decline, since peaking in the early 2010’s. Most shrimp exports from Bangladesh are used by the food service and niche ethnic markets in Europe. The complex nature of shrimp supply chains in Bangladesh, comprised of hundreds of thousands of small polyculture farms and tens of thousands of small traders, make it difficult to implement tracea bility and certification initiatives – now a prerequisite for entry into most supermarket supply chains. This report provides an overview of the sector and the challenges it faces, drawing on secondary and survey data, reviews of government reports and academic literature. We also report the findings of an expert consultation conducted to identify key constraints and potential solutions. The consensus among industry stakeholders who were part of the expert consultations is that issues related to the supply and quality of shrimp seed and pond management practices represent some of the most pressing, yet relatively simple-to-solve challenges currently faced by the sector. This would serve as the foundation for establishing traceability and certification processes. Previous interventions aimed at upgrading production practices (such as promoting stocking of disease-free shrimp seed) and facilitating disintermediation and transparency in the supply chain (such as by establishing producer groups, shrimp collection centers, and contracts with processors), have met with limited success. We outline potential interventions and partners that might offer scalable solutions enabling small shrimp farmers to access global markets.
The making of a blue revolution in Bangladesh: Enablers, impacts, and the path ahead for aquaculture
Author: Shahidur RashidPublisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
A rapid increase in aquaculture production in Bangladesh has lowered fish prices, increased protein consumption, and reduced poverty. The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh offers a valuable case study of how this transformation in the fish value chain has occurred and how it has improved the lives of both fish producers and fish consumers and considers the future potential of aquaculture in Bangladesh.
Environment and Livelihoods in Tropical Coastal Zones
Author: International Rice Research InstitutePublisher: CABI
ISBN: 1845931076
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
This book focuses on the challenges people face in managing agricultural crops, aquaculture, fisheries and related ecosystems in inland areas of coastal zones in the tropics of Asia, Africa, Australia and South America. These challenges can create conflicts in the use of natural resources between different stakeholders. Through many case studies, the book discusses the nature of the conflicts and identifies what is known and not known about how to manage them. For example, some case studies relate to the trade-offs between enhancing agricultural production by constructing embankments to keep out saline water and maintaining not only the variety of rural livelihoods but also brackish aquatic biodiversity. Other case studies provide the lessons learnt from the conversion of mangrove forests to shrimp farms.
Scoping report
Author: Ahmed, T.Public food grain storage facilities in Bangladesh: An assessment of functionality, repair needs, and alternative usage
Author: Kabir, RazinPublisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Based on an extensive survey, this study assesses the current conditions of all three types of government owned warehouses: the silos, Central Storage Depots (CSDs), and Local Supply Depots (LSDs). Using a large team of civil engineers as enumerators, a detailed set of information is generated about the functionality, repair needs, as well as alternative uses of all public warehousing facilities. The data generated from the survey fed into the production of a user-friendly GIS database that encompasses the mapping of all storage facilities, along with functionality indicators and summary statistics from the survey. The comprehensive repair estimates generated in the course of this study, along with its supplementary GIS tool, can serve as important inputs to strategic policy decisions related to the public food grain storage system in the country.
