Qualitative assessment of COVID-19 impacts on aquatic food value chains in Bangladesh (Round 3)

Abstract

Aquatic food value chains make up a large part of Bangladesh’s food system. In this report, we explore how actors in Bangladesh’s aquatic food supply chain have been affected by COVID-19. We conducted qualitative telephone interviews to elicit participants’ perceptions and experiences of the impacts of COVID-19 on different segments of the aquatic food supply chain. The work was designed to complement and add context to quantitative surveys of aquatic food supply chain actors that we conducted throughout 2020 and 2021.
