Entrepreneurship in Bangladesh

Situation

Hidden hunger is a big problem in Bangladesh. Therefore potential sectors that can develop more diverse yet affordable food should be supported. These are the horticulture, fishery and dairy sector.

Opportunities

The chances are multiple; from food supply, farmer production, processing, logistics to distribution, retail and specific pro-poor consumer products.

Challenge

Satkhira is a poor district in Bangladesh, situated in the coastal area. This causes high salinity in the groundwater, and prevents many crops from growing.

Possible improvements

To develop new seeds that are salt resistant for growing diverse crops.

Sector selection

Business opportunities locally and the added value on nutrition for food security and the contribution of the dairy, fish and horticultural sector to this purpose.
