Mission to achieve (yearly) $5 Billion Seafood Export Market by 2030

A remarkable export market of annually $5 billion awaits in Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s fisheries sector boasts a vast maritime boundary of 1.7 lakh square km and garners around 500 million dollars in export earnings. With an expected annual growth rate of 8.96% (CAGR 2023-2028), it underscores a promising investment landscape. In 2023 alone, revenue from the fish and seafood market reached 17.83 billion dollars. Notably, the country produced 1 lac tons of locally sourced fish feed last year, reflecting its self-sufficiency endeavors. Furthermore, the fisheries sector received a substantial boost with 84 billion dollars disbursed in loans during the FY 22-23 period. Additionally, plans for a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) dedicated to fisheries processing further enhance investment allure. These statistics underscore Bangladesh’s robust potential for investors seeking to tap into its burgeoning fisheries sector.

Session Objectives:

  • Unveil of Investment Opportunities: Explore the abundant investment prospects within Bangladesh’s fisheries sector, leveraging its extensive maritime boundary and robust export earnings.
  • Government Support and Initiatives: Shed light on the supportive policies, incentives, and proposed initiatives such as the establishment of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) dedicated to fisheries processing.
  • Fostering Collaborations and Partnerships: Facilitate interactive discussions aimed at fostering collaborations and partnerships among investors, industry experts, and government representatives.
  • Investors Insights: Provide participants with actionable insights to navigate the dynamic opportunities and challenges within the Bangladesh fisheries industry, enabling informed decision-making processes.
