Mymensingh district produces 40% of all farmed fish nationally, with most activity centred on Trishal Upazila. Commercial fish culture started in the 1990s and initially it was highly profitable, with quality fry and feed, a favorable enabling environment, and market linkages. Stakeholders have highlighted production and marketing challenges. Technical training has been offered, but more skills to support producer groups are needed to help them develop and improve linkages with buyers and processors.
Aim
Making the pond fish value chain work more effectively through greater cooperation, particularly for marginal farmers, in input supply, marketing and market links
