The fisheries sector in Bangladesh is a crucial contributor to the country’s economy, not only meeting a significant proportion of the nation’s non-vegetarian food needs but also generating substantial income. In the fiscal year 2020-21, Bangladesh was ranked third globally in terms of fisheries resources, harvesting around 20 million tons of fish and contributing 3.57 percent to the country’s GDP. Additionally, Bangladesh has been exporting fish and fish-related products to over 50 countries worldwide, earning a total of $533 million in FY 2021-22, which is more than 1 percent of the country’s total export earnings.
