Chattogram:Chattogram Deputy Commissioner (DC) Mohammad Zahidul Islam Miah has highlighted the potential of introducing local fish varieties to the global market as a means to boost fishers' incomes and enhance the national economy.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Zahidul Islam Miah emphasized the abundance of delicious fish species in Bangladesh's rivers and seas. He suggested that by promoting these unique flavors internationally, the country could significantly benefit its fishing community and economy.
The DC made these remarks while serving as the chief guest at the launch of a training program for fishers in Chattogram. He underscored that merely increasing fish production is insufficient for international competition; the quality and flavor of the catch must also be assured. To this end, he advocated for the adoption of modern technology, advanced farming practices, and skill enhancement within the fishing community.
Zahidul Islam Miah also commended the fishing community for their dedication, noting that fishers often brave dangerous conditions at sea to meet a considerable portion of the nation's protein requirements. He expressed confidence that with proper training, fishers could further refine their already extensive skills and expertise.
