III. Fish Products Processing in Bangladesh
3.1 Processing on fishing boat
Usually, the deep-sea fishing trawlers and mechanized fish boats are equipped with
basic fish processing machines and cold-store facilities to manage the fishes on the
spot. But the small-scale (non mechanized) fishing boat has no fish processing
equipment, the caught fishes and shrimps are stored with ice, and then they are
delivered to fish processing plants or distributors to have further processing.
3.2 Fish processing plants
Before 1971, there were 9 fish processing plants in Bangladesh, and all of these plants
were engaged in fish products production for exporting to Europe and the USA. In
1972-1984, 40 processing plants were installed by the private sector mostly under
government initiation and bank loan support to promote the vision of exports to
Europe and the USA. In 1985-1998, 72 more processing plants were established by
the private sector for processing and exporting shrimp and fish products for an
extended business around the world.
There are 133 aquatic products processing plants in Bangladesh currently, of which 74
plants are under regular surveillance by EU member state and U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) officials to ensure food safety requirements are met. And most
of the processing plants are located in port cities (Khulna and Chittagong). In the
mean time, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) has been introduced
