  1. A Background Paper on Bangladesh Fisheries Md. Ferdous Alam Madan Mohan Dey

  2. BANGLADESH • The country is bounded by India in the north and west; by the Bay of Bengal in the south, and finally by part of India and Myanmar in the eastern side. • The total area of the country is 147,570 sq km (56,977 sq. miles). • A wide portion of land is covered by large rivers such as the Padma, the Jamuna, the Teesta, the Meghna, the Brahmaputra, and the Surma. • There are also thousands • of tributaries with a total length of about 24,140 km. These rivers are connected to the Bay of Bengal.

  3. FISHERIES RESOURCES • Inland Open-waters : 4047316ha 84.75% (capture fishery) 2. Inland closed-water : 528390ha 15.25% (culture fishery) Total inland area : 4575706 ha 100.00% 3. Marine water :166,000 sq km

  4. FISHERIESPOTENINTIAL Fisheries have huge potential Have one of the highest man-water ratio in the world (at 20 persons per ha of watet area) Available sunlight and temperature throughout the year is an added advantage for fish production Water fertility is conducive to fish growth

  5. FISH AND FISHERIES • Fish and fisheries are an integral part of the life of Bangladeshi • Fish is a natural complement in the diet of Bangladeshi • Fish supplies 58% of animal protein • 13 million people are involved for livelihood • 73% of rural household are involved in freshwater aquaculture and floodplains • Fisheries contribute: 4.64% to the GDP 23.00% to agricultural GDP, and 5.10% to foreign exchange earning

  6. INLAND OPEN-WATERS (CAPTURE FISHERY)

  7. Inland closed-water (culture fishery)

  8. Marine waters

  9. Fish Production (2008-09)

  10. Fish production from inland culture sources

  11. Fish Production Growth(1983-84 to 2008-09)

  12. Fish Biodiversity • There are 300 species of fish and 20 species of prawns in Bangladesh. • The most common species is ilish (national fish) • 60 native and 13 exotic species of fish and 20 species of shrimp in inland freshwaters. • The major and minor indigenous carps are (katla, rohu, mrigel and kalbasu) and (bata, reba, nandin and gonia). • Introduced exotic species are silver carps, grass carp, bighead carp, black carp, common carp, silver barb, Tilapia and Mahseer • Indigenous carps (Rohu, Catla and Mrigal) and one exotic carp (silver carp) accounts for about 74% of pond production. • Other major cultures species in Bangladesh include the grass carp, common carp, tilapia and Pangas.

  13. Threat to Biodiversity • Number of freshwater species is declining at an alarming rate with some species, in recent years, having become extinct. • According to the Red Book figure, about 54 freshwater species are critically or somewhat endangered in the country. Among them 14 species are listed as critically endangered; 27 as endangered and 14 s vulnerable (IUCN, 2000). • Overfishing, rapid extraction of fish seed and broodstock, destructive and unregulated fishing practices, pollution, introduction of exotic species, loss of aquatic habitat due to siltation, dam construction, and other anthropogenic activities have been the major causes of fish species loss.

  14. Intensity of technology use

  15. Processing and export • No. of Fish processing plant: 133 • Most of them are in Khulna and Chittagong • Capacity far outstrips supply (18-20% capacity utilization) • Product sale comprises 72% unprocessed (frozen whole) product, 24% prepared/preserved and 4% other products (frozen freshwater fish) • Main markets are USA (40%), EU (UK, Netherland, Belgium, • Germany) 39% • Demand is strong for Bagda and Golda • Freshwater fish are exported for expatriate Bangladeshi communities

  16. Fisheries Export

  17. Fisheries Export Trend

  18. Export of fish and fish products 2008-09

  19. Collection center/rural market within the fishing area. Operated by collectors PRIMARY MARKET First landing and distribution center near thana headquarters or vital communication points. Market operated by commission agents called aratdars SECONDARY MARKET Second landing & distribution center in cities/towns. Operated by commission agents called aratdars HIGHER SECONDARY MARKET Retail marketing. Paikars sell to retailers FINAL CONSUMING MARKET Sub-urban retailing Urban retailing Rural retailing A Generalized Marketing Channel

  20. BFDC Brokers Beparies` Aratdars Retailers Consumers Domestic Marketing Channel (Public sector)

  21. Fish Farmer Home Consumption 7.15% Nikari 82.85% 10% Bepari 75.6% Aratdar 75.6% Paiker/ Retailer 92.85% Consumer Market Channel and Share (culture fish)

  22. Marketing profit of frozen and dryfish (Taka/Kg) Ahmed (2009) showed that total marketing margin of tilapia is 31%: 5% (primary market), (15%) secondary market and (11%) retail market

  23. Producer’s share to consumer price

  24. Data availability Fisheries data are generated mainly by three organizations: 1. Department of Fisheries : This publication provides details of production statistics by fisheries resources, species, districts, upazilas and export statistics of fish and fish products. Unfortunately, the publication does not provide any information of fish prices. 2. Department of Agricultural Marketing : DAM maintains retail prices, wholesale prices and growers prices of different markets under upazillas and districts of different divisions. 3. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics : BBS produces annual price statistics of some selected fish species in its annual publications, Yearbook of Statistics and Statistical Pocket Book of Bangladesh.

  25. Market/marketing Review of Studies • Marketing studies of crops are plenty • Fish marketing studies are very scanty • Most fish marketing studies are conducted in BAU • Most studies relate to kind of price spread and marketing margin • Few market integration studies exist that are methodologically very shallow (correlation approach) • Most studies are done with limited sample • No representative structure-conduct-performance type study exists • Supply chain, value chain and price spread type studies are confusing • No existence of studies related to price transmission and price linkage across different market levels
