Developing a Sampling Strategy for Fish Feed Collection and Preparation for NIRS Analysis in Bangladesh

Abstract

On August 27, 2025, WorldFish, in collaboration with ILRI, convened a hybrid workshop at the WorldFish headquarters in Bangladesh, bringing together partners and stakeholders from across the aquafeed value chain sectors. Through this workshop, partners will co-develop a practical, representative sampling strategy for aquafeed collection in Bangladesh, supporting the creation of robust, region-specific NIRS calibration models. The outcome will strengthen local analytical capacity, advance digital innovation in feed quality assessment, and contribute to global CGIAR efforts toward equitable, low-emission, and resilient food systems.
