Report on shrimp for better health

Report On Shrimp for Better Health

Ch#1.Introduction 1.1 Origin of the Report:

Shrimp cultivation and marketing is played an important role in our economic development and earning foreign currency. Every year a lot of foreign currency earn by exporting shrimp.

Shrimp as a food, its demand and price increasing gradually in the world market with acquiring highest position. With the view point of scence, shrimp is not fish but in business view it is well known as a fish. In our country shrimp can be cultivated through two ways.

•

One is panedia which cultivated sweet water and brakish water.

•

Another is Careder which cultivated in normal and brakish water.

Generally lobsters are available in the sea-coasts of India and Asia pacific. Naturally where the temperature of the sea water is below 20 metre .The lobster don’t feel comfort. They are available in under 162 meter of sea when they are grown. The larba are available in the sea-coast area or in the river. The availability of the larba is more available in Cox’s bazar, Technaf, Moheskhali, Chakaria, Khulna, Bagerhat, Satkhira, etc. In 1975 Bangladesh earn about 11% of its total earning foreign currency and Bangladesh exported about 30000 metric ton. Different types of shrimps are exported

from the farm sector about 70-80% and rests of shrimps are used as fulfilling the domestic demand. In the recent year 2004-2005, Bangladesh has exported frozen shrimp about 46533 mt. which is of 2281.59 crore T.k.

1.2. Objectives of the Report The main objective of our report is to provide a crystal clear picture about the production, distribution, marketing, procedure of lobsters not only in the country but also throughout the world. We can summarize out objectives as the following: •

To highlight the marketing sector regarding lobsters market not only in our country but also other countries.

•

The scientific production of lobsters in our country.

•

To highlight the lickings in the lobsters cultivating and marketing sector and to provide the solution of these problem.

•

To highlight the procedure that will help to realize the fulfill domestic and foreign demand.

•

Another objective is to lower the production cost serve it to the local market to a greater extend.

•

No expand the size of the market in the countries where it has not been export.

•

Last of all, the ultimate objective is to develop the way how to maximize the profit.

1.2.1 Broad objectives

•

The market of lobsters consists of the domestic and foreign buyers. And we segment the market based on the following characteristics:

•

•

Income (High income groups)

•

Occupation

•

Status (High status)

In case of targeting we mainly targeted high income and small size of people and the foreign countries. We mainly focus on “Right size and growth”. We target the right size and the growth is structurally attractive. Thus, the company can ensure the fulfillment of its own objectives and resources in relation to that segment.

•

We position our product mainly through the competitive advantage. We generally provide our lobsters in the domestic and foreign countries in a competitive lower price. We ensure better quality then our competitors. Thus, we have created a distinctive place in the mindset of the ultimate consumers.

•

We generally provide the ultimate customers at a very lower price. We set our price mainly based on the competitive pricing strategy in foreign countries but in the domestic market we set our price based on the based price.

•

We have developed a sound marketing channel to supply the lobsters to the ultimate customer.

•

We develop export channel also to supply it overseas. The government launched different policies for assisting the lobsters export.

•

We mainly focus on the selective distribution strategy.

We collect primary data from-

Personal direct observation: For collecting primary data we have gone to village namely polymakhali of Ashashuri thana of Satkhira district. There are about 1200 people in this village. We have taken interviews of Mr. Rafiq who is the owner of 12 firm sectors (Gher) and like him we have taken interview of another 50 person. The information that we have collected is given later.

We have collected secondary data by the following way:

•

Published sources (Internet, BSB, Journal)

•

Unpublished source (Opinion of the officers of Matshya Bhaban)

•

Co-operative society of fish farmers.

Sample size: The sample size is 120 people from the population of 1200. And we have chosen randomly. Thus, we have applied randomly sampling. From Ashashori we have surveyed 70 samples and from the Dumuria we have surveyed about 50 samples.

Above these data analysis, we can know that now to improve our business cycle on marketing and how to and where to our potential export country which can increased our company profit and increased in GDP. 1.3 Limitations of the Report Every good side has a bad side. Although the business activities are running efficiently but there are some limitations that retards our operation. That may include: •

Time limitation

•

Money limitation

•

Inexperienced workforce

•

Non- cooperation of the authority

•

Political instability

First of all, time is an important factor. Sometime there is a gap between the cultivating and harvest time. If the time is not maintained properly there can be a great loss.

This business requires a lot of money. Sometime we can’t provide the sufficient amount of money that is required. Besides this, credit facility is not very available and easy in our country. Besides this, our work forces are not so much trained. They are ignorant and they not aware about the scientific cultivation. Sometimes the government does not co-operate with us to perform our activities. Probe is needed to add and unload the products in the port. These also cause a long time. After this political instability is very acute in our country. Last of all, the farming of shrimp is very much dependable on the natural climate which may not always be in favor. And the attack of virus in the farming land is also a threat for us.

Ch#2.Organization Part Profile of the company:

In 1980, the company “Sundarban Shrimp Industries Ltd” was established by the eight founders namely Ershad, Mamun, Foysal, Iqbal, Delwar, Asanur, Shahin and Sanzida. The motto of this company is to earning profit through exporting quality shrimp in overseas as well as to meet u7p the domestic demand. At first the company mainly dealt with only the Khulna divisional sector and Chittagong divisional sector. They collected the shrimp from those regions and supply it to the different government companies. But in 1991 with its experience, the company first took the initiative steps to directly export it to the foreign countries and successfully did it. The company mainly deals with three products: •

Prawn

•

Lobster

•

Kucho Chingri

Mission Statement: The mission of the company is to deliver high quality, fresh product and desired satisfaction.

Vision Statement: The vision is to capture the domestic & foreign Shrimp market within short period and provide the eco-friendly products.

There are 10 markets inside the country and mainly 12 countries around the world that imports shrimp from our company. The countries are: UK, USA, Japan, Belgium, Netherlands, Thailand, Germany, China, FRANCE, Canada, Spain, and Italy. In our country the company’s market share is 10% and globally it’s market share is 15%. The total shrimp industry contributes about 5% in our total GDP, and the company contributes about 1.09% in our total GDP. Ch#3.Findings of the Report By analyzing their report we come to the following findings: •

We have been able to conduct a survey based on the time, age, investment, and outcomes.

•

We have analyzed the data that has been colleted.

•

We have conducted on hypothesis based on sampling.

•

We can focus on the limitation regarding the farming sector.

•

The focus on the main products that we mainly deal with.

•

In order to develop the infrastructure we have gained success.

By using the statistical analysis, the hypothesis that we assume from the population about the sample, come to conclusion that the error rate is significantly low between the population mean and the sampling mean.

Ch#4.Recommendations The shrimp sector has been geared to export oriented expansion which has resulted in huge export earnings at the national level and large number of employment generation in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. However, the achievement is not impressive on all counts. Therefore, with the growing importance of shrimp as one of the important export items from Bangladesh, it is important to

efficiently utilize the capacity of shrimp farms and processing plants, carefully maintain the quality of the exported item through appropriate quality control measures and internalize the environmental costs arising from the production process. In order to perform these appropriate policies and a sectoral strategy are required as the sector suffers from both policy and institutional failure. As has been mentioned that the NFP 1998 has announced a policy for the shrimp sector. The policy, however, does not focus on livelihood aspects of the poor involved in the sector and does not ensure access to resources by the poor communities and their participation in the decision making process. It also lacks vision for dealing with some of the trade measures which constrain the market access capacity of Bangladesh in the developed countries.

In view of the inadequacies in the shrimp policy to tackle the emerging issues and the Challenge to deal with the emerging compliance regulations at the global level a number Of recommendations may be made for the shrimp industry in Bangladesh.
