The government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the sustainable development of Bangladesh's fisheries sector. Ambassador Joris van Bommel made this announcement at the inauguration of the Aquaculture Center of Excellence (CoE) in Tarakanda, Mymensingh, under the 'FoodTechBangladesh' programme.

Commitment to Sustainable Aquaculture

Ambassador Joris van Bommel highlighted the importance of the 'FoodTechBangladesh' programme, stating it exemplifies the Dutch Diamond approach. The establishment of the CoE is expected to enable farmers to adopt modern aquaculture technologies, strengthen investor confidence, and support long-term sector growth.

Enhancing Sector Productivity

Dr. Md. Khaled Kanak, Director General of the Department of Fisheries, emphasized that high productivity can be achieved with limited land resources. He praised the Netherlands for setting a remarkable example and called for collaboration among stakeholders to advance Bangladesh's fisheries sector.

Since its launch in 2022, 'FoodTechBangladesh' has conducted over 60 commercial trials and trained more than 1,400 farmers through online and in-person programmes. The initiative aims to improve technical knowledge and promote sustainable aquaculture practices.
