DHAKA, BANGLADESH, September 27, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Improving aquaculture feed in Bangladesh:From feed ingredients to farmer profit to safe consumptionMamun-Ur-Rashid, M., Belton, B., Phillips, M., Rosentrater, K.A.(2013). WorldFish,Penang, Malaysia. Working Paper: 2013-34.
Abstract
Use of manufactured feeds in aquaculture in Bangladesh has grown rapidly over the last five years. More than 1 million tonnes of commercially formulated feeds and 0.3-0.4 million tonnes of farm-made feeds were produced in 2012, and sectoral growth is projected to increase substantially over the medium term. This working paper summarizes findings from a study,conducted as part of the WorldFish/USAID “Feed the Future-Aquaculture” project in 2012, assessing the current status of the aquaculture feed sector in Bangladesh. Fish feed
value chains, market trends, ingredients and formulation systems, farm feeding practices, ancillary services and feed regulations were investigated. The study identifies a number of entry points for interventions in the sector, and investments which would improve feed quality and farmer access to better feeds and support the growth of sustainable aquaculture.
