“…This paper intends to analyze the current state of the shrimp sector in Bangladesh and to suggests recommendations for its restoration within the context of today's critical scenario.

The shrimp industry shares a significant export portfolio in Bangladesh, contributing substantially to the country's economy. However, despite its bright potential, this export-oriented industry is crying for policy attention for sustainability and competitiveness. The objective of this inquiry is to provide a quick summary message of the shrimp industry in Bangladesh based on available sources. The Department of Fisheries (DoF) has reported a significant decline (50%) in shrimp exports over the past decade, resulting in an associated drop of approximately 40% in export revenues. The loss of competitiveness in the global shrimp market can be explained by several factors, including higher cultivation expenses, lower yield, declining demand, and a failure to introduce exotic high-yielding species. We kindly urge the Government and the relevant Ministry to take immediate policy and extension measures to revitalize the competitiveness of the dying shrimp industry in Bangladesh.
