N
SHRIMP PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE
ECONOMY OF BANGLADESH. IT IS THE SECOND
LARGEST EXPORT INDUSTRIES AFTER GARMENTS
FROM WHICH BANGLADESH EARNED US$507.3
MILLION IN THE YEAR OF 2017. AMONG SHRIMP
PRODUCTING COUNTRIES BANGLADESH RANKS
FOURTH WITH RESPECT TO AREA OF SHRIMP
FARMING AND SIXTH IN VOLUME OF PRODUCTION.
 02 DEVELOPMENT OF SHRIMP
INDUSTRY

The development of commercial shrimp farming has

generated considerable national and international debate
in recent years on its environmental and social costs and
benefits.
 02 DEVELOPMENT OF
SHRIMP INDUSTRY

(a) Traditional subsistence oriented shrimp farming by local

farmers Up to 1985
(b) Export oriented commercial shrimp farming by outsider
entrepreneurs and local elites 1986 to 1997
(c) Smallholder shrimp farming by local land owners 1998
onwards
 03 CONTRIBUTION TO GDP
Shrimp contains more than 80% of frozen food item. Bangladesh captured 2.5% of world shrimp market.
At the present time the world market demand for shrimp is increasing day by day. As an agro-based
country, the contribution of fisheries to the national economy has always been essential and as the primary
source of animal protein, employment opportunities, food security, foreign earnings and socio-economic
development. It contributes 3.61% to Bangladesh national GDP and around 24.41% to the agricultural
GDP. Last ten years of average growth performance of this sector is almost 5.43%. Bangladesh has ranked
3rd in the world in inland fish production, 5th in aquaculture production and 11th in marine fish
production in 2018 . Bangladesh is now self-sufficient in fish production and has started to get global
recognition as one of the biggest fish producers among the countries

PRODUCTION

Shrimp production averages only 250 to 300 kilograms per

hectare per year. Black tiger shrimp is the only marine species
cultured, but other shrimp and fish that gain access to the
ponds as intruder species also contribute to farms’ income and
the diets of locals. Most ponds depend on tides both for water
filling and draining.

S
1. CHALLENGES FACING THE EXPORT MARKETING OF
BANGLADESHI SHRIMP BETWEEN TWO MAIN TRADING
BLOCKS USA AND EU WH HAVE BECOME MORE DOMINANT
MARKETS FOR BANGLADESHI SHRIMP
2. SAFE AND DEPENDABLE PRODUCTION OF QUALITY
SEAFOOD EXPORT TO THE GLOBAL MARKET IS RECENT
CHALLENGES FOR BANGLADESH.
3. AIR TRANSPORT FACCILITIES SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED.

 CONCLUSIO
11 N
SHRIMP INDUSTRY IS THE FASTEST GRPWING
ENTERPRISE IN BANGLADESH. SINCE THE
POVERTY LEVEL IN SHRIMP PRODUCING AREAS
IS STILL HIGH. GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE
NECESSARY STEP TO IMPROVE THIS SECTOR
THEN IT CAN PERFOM WELL IN BANGLADESH’S
GDP.
