Project Name: Rural Microenterprise Transformation Project (FISH)
Project Objective:
Increased farm mechanization and information technology on farms and improved farm management practices will result in a 10 percent increase in overall fish/shrimp production and a 10 percent reduction in production costs.
The linkage of institutional and non-institutional buyers will increase sales of safe fish products by 25 percent and prices by 10 percent.
A total of 31,000 rural producers that are members of a rural producers’ organization received training on ‘Good Aquaculture Practice (GAqP) for safe fish production.
60% households provided with targeted support (information regarding nutrition, nutrient dense fish supply, cultivate vegetables/fruits/fish in homestead etc.) to improve their nutrition.
Required number of Master Trainers received training on GAqP & HACCP and required number local service providers (LSPs) are developed.
The backward and forward market linkages with the fish producers will gradually increase, wages increase by 10 percent and an additional 10 percent of employment opportunities will be created.
Project Goal: To increase the income, food security, and nutrition of farmers and service providers across Fisheries value chains.
Project Brief: The sub-project titled ‘Production and Marketing of Safe Fish and Fish Products’ jointly financed by Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), DANIDA. SDS will implemented this sub-project at three Upazlia’s of Shariatpur Naria, Sadar and Bhedorganj. The sub-project will work to increase income, ensure food security and improve family nutrition of marginal and small farmers and aquaculture related backward and forward market entrepreneurs. The sub-project will also work on value addition at various levels, expansion of financial services for enterprise development, and strengthening of the institutional framework for the development of Safe fish, ‘Ready to Cook’ and ‘Ready to Eat’ fish products of the value chain. Efforts will be made to scale up and expansion of enterprises through efficient production methods and strong market linkages of marginal and small farmers. If the sub-project is implemented, the income of 70 percent of the entrepreneurs will increase by at least 30 percent and 30 percent of the project members will be able to add nutritious food to their regular diet.

Project Name: “Market Development in Safe Poultry and Poultry Products” sub-project
Project Objective:
The value chain sub-project entitled “Market Development of Safe Poultry and Poultry Products” supported by the project will be developed sustainably resulting in 80 percent increase in production of entrepreneurs, minimum 30 percent increase in sales price of produce and 20 percent increase in business profit.
Project Goal:
The income, food security and nutritional status of the marginal population, small farmers and associated backward and forward market entrepreneurs under the scope of Poultry Value Chain Development Project will be steadily increased. That is, as a result of the implementation of the project, the income of 70 percent of the entrepreneurs will increase by at least 50 percent and 30 percent of the project members will be able to add safe and nutritious food to their regular diet.
Project Brief:
Poultry is reared almost at home in the working area. There are few commercial farmers who supply chickens and eggs to the market. There is a huge demand for native poultry and eggs in the market. But day by day native species of poultry are disappearing. The main reason for this is unplanned poultry farming. The death rate of chickens is very high due to non-scientific poultry rearing. If rural farmers can be trained in poultry farming and provided with nutritional feed, medicine and vaccines, the death rate of chickens will be greatly reduced. This will increase indigenous chicken farms in the villages, increase the supply of meat and eggs to the market and create more employment. As a result, nutrition and food supply will be easily available to consumers. The project has been providing various types of training to the farmers along with technical assistance. Under the project, skill development of farmers through training, organization of vaccine and deworming camps through LSP, establishment of vaccine clinics to ensure supply of vaccines, support to chicken coop makers for construction of modern chicken houses, ensuring improved breeds of chickens and ducklings to farmers, farms Various works are being done including arrangement of contract farming through meat sellers. Along with creating farmer awareness, poultry products are being made available in farm-side markets. Contract farming is making the farm business profitable and getting fair prices. The project is working to access the products produced by the farmers through good agricultural practices in the domestic market as well as in the international market.
