KHULNA, Sept 1, 2021 (BSS) – As part of the National Fish Week Programme, a view-exchange meeting with Bangladesh Frozen Foods Exporters Association (BFFEA) was held today at its conference room on the achievement and success of the government in the fish sector.

Khulna Deputy Commissioner Md Moniruzzaman Talukder addressed the meeting as the chief guest with BFFEA vice-president S Humayun Kabir in the chair.

The National Fish Week celebration committee in Khulna organised the programme.

The chief guest said the government under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has undertaken a mega project for the development of the shrimp sector.

Terming the shrimp sector as a prosperous field in the region, he said everybody should come forward to keep the sector visible as the government earns huge remittance through exporting frozen fishes.

“Some dishonest traders are involved in adding chemicals into shrimp to increase its weight,” he said, adding that everybody should remain alert about such type of traders.

District Fisheries Officer Joydep Paul and senior vice-president of BFFEA M Khalilullah addressed the meeting as special guests while former vice-president Sheikh Abdul Baki delivered the welcome speech.
