Role of Fish in Nutrition
Policy Brief
Fish is a crucial part of the Bangladesh diet. A popular local expression, "Mache Bhate Bangali" - “fish and rice make a Bengali” - accurately reflects people’s strong cultural attachment to it.

Traditionally, fish production and consumption have a strong impact on food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation and fostering livelihoods in Bangladesh.
