Fig. 4. Trend in fish production in Bangladesh (DOF)
The main growth drivers are supply of improved breed, feed, and fodder, veterinary health services,smallholder farmers, and private sector-led investments.
Growth Drivers
Livestock → 2.9 percent of National GDP
Fisheries → 5 percent of National GDP
Aquaculture is the driving force due to intensive technological management and improved fish breeds.
Unfortunately the growth in open water fisheries is declining, though it still contribute more than 40 percent of total fish production.
Supply - Demand Gap
By the year 2015
There will be deficit of 0.33 million tons of
milk, 0.76 million tons of meat and
1 million ton of fish under all alternative growth scenarios
Faster higher growth is crucial
GOOD PRACTICES AND SECTORAL SUCCESS
Cross breed cows – give several times more milk than local breed – The use of deep frozen semen is the key to success
High profitability of cattle fattening above 35000/- per small unit
Small holder Poultry unit earns more than Tk 88000/–
High economic value of wetlands – CBFM and MACH have shown the path
CHALLENGES FACING THE SECTORS
Policy barriers
Dairy and poultry sector suffer due to
high Taxes and Tariffs
Wetland Leasing – Prohibitive to investment
Weak Mainstream Extension System limit
Private Sector Participation
Women’s Involvement is not encouraging
Additional barriers Genetic degradation in carp and other farmed fish species
Restriction of breeds and livestock breeding program
Lack of organized market and low value addition
Climate change
Availability of Feeds and Fodder for Livestock
Inadequate coverage of animal health service
Decline in the growth of in inland open water fisheries
Depletion of resources and degradation of public water bodies
and habitat
Low productivity of aquaculture fisheries
Low productivity of brackish water shrimp
PRIORITY INVESTMENT AREAS The potential
High potential of employing more than 40 million people in next 5 years in these sectors Remove policy barriers and work toward institutional reform
Investment Opportunities Special Fiscal measures Offer Incentive Credit Program and insurance Provide safety nets for vulnerable smallholders and community-based fishers Provide subsidies to support feed and forage production Adjust Taxes and Tariffs
Livestock
Promote smallholder poultry and dairy development
Improve diagnostic capacity and veterinary clinical services Develop public–private partnerships in diversified vaccine production and marketing
Promote sustainable management of animal genetic resources (AnGR)
Prepare for highly pathogenic avian influenza
Promote hygiene in animal food production and processing
Add value to livestock and fishery diversity
Fisheries Community-based co-management: A solution to wetland degradation in Bangladesh
Use genetics and biotechnology to enhance aquaculture productivity
Improve productivity of brackish water shrimp
Assess marine fisheries resources and
Determine prospects of Tuna
