🌍 Current Trends in Bangladesh’s Shrimp Export Industry 🌍 As global demand for high-quality shrimp rises, Bangladesh’s shrimp industry is evolving to meet the changing needs of the market. Here’s a closer look at recent trends, challenges, and potential opportunities for growth in the international shrimp market. 📈 Shifting Demand: The demand for Black Tiger and freshwater shrimp from Bangladesh has remained strong in the USA and Europe, with growing interest from emerging markets like China and the Middle East. Consumers now prioritize sustainably sourced seafood, and certified shrimp products are becoming essential to stay competitive. ⚠️ Challenges: The industry faces hurdles including rising production costs, climate impacts on shrimp farms, and stringent quality regulations in importing countries. These challenges push us to adopt more efficient farming practices and ensure strict quality controls to meet international standards. 🌎 Opportunities for Market Expansion: New opportunities are emerging in untapped markets across Asia and Africa. Bangladesh’s reputation for quality shrimp can open doors in these regions, providing diverse market options and reducing dependency on traditional markets. Our focus remains on expanding our reach while maintaining our commitment to quality and sustainability. We’re excited to see where the future takes us in the global seafood market! #BangladeshShrimp #GlobalSeafoodMarket #SustainableSeafood #ShrimpExport #SeafoodIndustry #MarketExpansion #ShrimpDemand #QualitySeafood #ShrimpSourcing #EmergingMarkets #SustainableFarming #SeafoodTrends

🐟Seasonal Dynamics of Heavy Metal Concentrations in Water and Fish from Hakaluki Haor of Bangladesh 👉https://lnkd.in/g4dxDj5G Keywords: seasonal dynamics; #HEAVYMETAL ; Hakaluki haor; #Bangladesh 🧐Abstract: Food safety is currently a serious concern due to the health risks associated with food intake, particularly due to heavy metal contamination. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and fishes collected from Hakaluki haor, Bangladesh. Three important fish species, Labeo rohita, Cirrhinus cirrhosis, and Labeo calbasu, together with water samples, were analyzed for heavy metals (Pb, Cr, and Cd), respectively. Considering four seasons, namely the monsoon, post-monsoon, winter, and pre-monsoon, a total of 72 fish samples were collected from three fishing stations from June 2017 to May 2018. The results showed that the total mean concentration of metals in water (mg L−1) was found to be in the order of Pb (0.125 ± 0.058) > Cr (0.026 ± 0.012) > Cd (0.001 ± 0.0002) within the maximum permissible limits set by the EU and WHO, except for Pb concentrations. Similarly, the total mean concentrations of Pb in fish (µg g−1) were found in order of L. rohita (0.388 ± 0.291) > Cirrhinus cirrhosus (0.334 ± 0.236) > L. calbasu (0.251 ± 0.117) greater than the maximum permissible limits (0.3 µg g−1) set by FIQC, except for L. calbasu. However, the mean concentrations of Cr and Cd in fish were found to be below the maximum permissible limits of FAO and FIQC, respectively. The quantity of heavy metal contamination in this haor indicates that the situation is worrying for the region’s biota and residents. However, to protect public health and reduce environmental risk, the appropriate authorities should oversee and monitor it with strong hands.

Challenges mount for Bangladesh 🇧🇩 shrimp 🦐 exports as incentives face reduction February 17, 2024 Data from the Department of Fisheries Inspection and Quality Control reveals a concerning trend. In the fiscal year 2021-22, 24,104 MT of frozen shrimp were exported. However, in 2022-23, this figure dropped by 4,000 MT to 19,904 tons. The first six months of the current financial year saw 9,971 MT of shrimp exported, marking a 3,000 MT decrease compared to the corresponding period last year. The initial target for shrimp export earnings in the first quarter of the current financial year was US $158.7 million, but the income fell by US $54.6 million, reaching US $102.13 million. The high price of #shrimp in #Bangladesh has hampered its competitiveness in the global market, and the recent decision by the government to reduce the one percent incentive has further impacted exporters.

#analysis: US Complains After Kenya Restricts Market for Bovine Semen Imports #excerpt April 3, 2024 “The bull(s) must have been continuously resident at the Artificial Insemination Center for a period of at least 28 days prior to collection of the semen and in that time had not been used for natural mating,” the Ministry of Agriculture further adds. Additionally, the donor bulls must be free from heritable genetic defects and have confirmed the absence of haplotypes affecting fertility. https://lnkd.in/d55eUcZY. #comments @Jonathan Kimuge I totally agree with kenya government for this bold move. They should even add more if any. We are not a dumping ground for bull semen. @Wakanyingi Bernado Great move by Kenya. US refusal to meet set standards are suspect. They are the very bare minimum any country including European trade partners would expect. Bravo Kenya. #perspective Collective West invest heavily in Kenya's democracy, and propaganda purposely to disadvantage Hamito semitic communities who are minorities but control 80% of Kenya's landmass.

The quality of Kenya's beef is first class, pure organic meet.This has attracted envy in western markets who feel the opening of Kenya's range lands to livestock production will push US, Canadian and Australian farmers out of the Asian Market.
