Bangladesh: Poverty Amidst Plenty
Only comprehensive policy interventions and targeted initiatives can address systemic inequalities and ensure equitable development in the fisheries sector of Bangladesh.
The fisheries sector has emerged as a significant contributor to Bangladesh’s economy and food security. With abundant water resources and strategic policies, Bangladesh has become a leading producer in the global fisheries market, surpassing its production targets consistently. This success story, however, contrasts sharply with the socio-economic realities faced by fishing communities across the country. Despite the sector’s remarkable achievements, fishers continue to grapple with poverty, limited access to education, healthcare challenges and occupational hazards.
