With the global demand for crabs on the rise, expanding crab farming in Bangladesh presents a significant opportunity for the country to boost its export income, said experts. They said developing this sector requires increased research and collaboration between the government and non-government entities.
These comments were made by experts at a workshop titled ‘Possibilities of the Crab Industry in Bangladesh, Existing Problems, and Possible Actions’, held at the Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) Bhaban here yesterday. The workshop was presided over by PKSF Managing Director Dr Nomita Halder.
