Safe Fish Initiative in Bangladesh taken by ACI and Katalyst

Fish is one of the common dishes for meal in almost every household in Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh’s farmed fish market faces multi-faceted challenges. Besides, consumers are now highly cautious about the quality of fish farming inputs.

To address the shortfall of quality and safe fish in the consumer’s plate, ACI and Katalyst came together to devise an innovative business plan. Under this scheme, Katalyst Innovation Fund (KIF) provided co-funding and technical support to ACI in order to establish and promote an efficient distribution channel for safe and healthy fish through an outlet. Now “Fisharbour” is Bangladesh’s first fish outlet that provides guaranteed safe fish to its customers. ACI also provided training and guidance to the farmer from whom the fish is sourced, to ensure optimum quality.
