Bangladesh: Witness to a silent fish revolution (Dhaka Tribune)

Dhaka Tribune published an article stating that Bangladesh contributes to a tenth of the world’s total inland fish production. This has helped the country keep fish prices low and increased protein consumption.  In the IFPRI book, The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh, authors Shahidur Rashid (Division Director, South Asia Region) and Senior Research Fellow Xiaobo Zhang write, “A rapid increase in aquaculture production in Bangladesh has lowered fish prices, increased protein consumption, and reduced poverty.” The authors state that “Fish production in Bangladesh has transformed over the past 20 years. Fish is the biggest protein source in Bangladeshi diets.”
