Most of the people in Bandarban are of ethnic origin and here is a high demand for fish in the local markets in Bandarban. Despite the high demand, fish production is very low compared to the other areas of Bangladesh. Such lower production is due to several confounding factors that include lack of technical knowledge, unavailability of fish fingerlings and feeds and other aquaculture inputs, and water crisis in the ponds/creeks. The fish farmers do not get sufficient technical support from relevant organizations (GO/NGO). Higher fish demand with lower productivity results in higher price in the local market. As a result, the poor people in the area cannot buy fish for their consumption and household nutrition. To address the problem of Aquaculture & Nutrition in hill district of Bandarban district “Aquaculture Market Channel Development in Alikadam” (AMCD) project implemented by TAHZINGDONG. AMCD project is funded by Feed the Future Bangladesh Aquaculture and Nutrition Activity (BAA) which technically supported by WorldFish Bangladesh.
