Challenges facing the Shrimp Industry in Bangladesh - May 2004
"Shrimp cultivation has a long and largely quiet history in Bangladesh, but during its rapid growth over the past two decades, in response to expanding global demand, it has acquired a highly contested status." (Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies, 2001). Shrimp is a very important resource that supports a large industry in Bangladesh. Shrimp is the second most important source of export accounting for a yearly earning of over $US 300 million. Of all the exportable agro-based primary commodities, shrimp is by far the most important. It alone contributes more than 70% to the total export earning from all the agro-based products, including tea, raw jute, vegetables, fruit, etc. (Karim, 2004).
