GHERS: Greater Harvest and Economic Returns from Shrimp

Abstract

The dynamic shrimp sector in Bangladesh is facing several challenges, particularly low yields and poor quality. Regardless of the high demand for this product, shrimp farming is still characterized as being traditional and having low productivity. The Greater Harvest and Economic Returns from Shrimp (GHERS) has been initiated to narrow the demand and supply gap by increasing farm productivity and vertically integrating the value chain to comply with quality requirement.
