🌊🌍 World Food Day 2024 🌍🌊

At SEAQUA, we believe in a world where access to nutritious food is a basic right for all. On this World Food Day, we're highlighting the role of sustainable seafood in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.

Did you know that fish provides essential protein for over 3.2 billion people globally? It’s not only a critical source of nutrition but also one of the most environmentally efficient proteins available.

Compared to traditional livestock, seafood requires less land, water, and resources, making it a key solution for ensuring food security while protecting our planet.

Let’s work together towards a future where healthy oceans and sustainable fisheries provide for generations to come. 🌊💙

Bangladesh, a nation crisscrossed by rivers, has a deep cultural affinity for fish and rice, staples of the Bengali identity. Despite this emotional connection, the fishing industry's contribution to the country's GDP has been steadily declining, hitting a low of 2.45% in FY23 and expected to fall further to 2.38% in FY24*.

However, a closer examination of the data reveals a more encouraging trend, the industry has nearly doubled in size over the past seven years with a 10.09% CAGR highlighting immense growth potential due to the demographic advantages.

The main obstacle to unlock the industry's full potential is the lack of access to finance, markets, and technology for fisheries. Furthermore, the economic opportunities presented by its rivers, coastlines, and marine resources - known as the Blue Economy remain vastly untapped. To fully capitalize on the Blue Economy and improve the livelihoods of fishing communities, Bangladesh must focus on significant investment and strong public-private partnerships.

By driving growth in this sector, Bangladesh can not only revitalize its cultural heritage but also unlock a key contributor to its GDP and diversify export portfolio.
