The fisheries sector plays a vital and growing role in the economic development of agrarian Bangladesh. It contributes significantly to poverty reduction, employment generation, nutrition security, and foreign exchange earnings, particularly benefiting rural and marginalized communities. Despite the country’s vast and diverse aquatic resources, fish production remains below its full potential due to limited access to finance, inadequate technical knowledge, and insufficient adoption of modern aquaculture practices among small-scale farmers. To address these challenges, the Fisheries Unit under ADI’s Integrated Agriculture Program has been implementing modern and sustainable fish farming technologies since 2014. The initiative focuses on bringing sunken and abandoned ponds under productive use through capacity building, technical support, and access to inputs. With support from development partners, ADI motivates and assists rural households to improve fish productivity, generate employment, and enhance household income. Through targeted training, technology transfer, and continuous advisory services, the fisheries program strengthens farmers’ skills, increases fish production, and contributes to improved food security and socio-economic well-being of rural communities.
