Fisheries Adviser Farida Akhter expressed regret that authorities could not bring down the retail price of hilsa. She cited both natural and human factors for declining hilsa production and noted that 103 tonnes of hilsa have been exported to India so far this year ahead of the festival season. She said the Commerce Ministry set the export price at $12.50 per kilogram, which amounts to export revenue of approximately BDT 15.77 crore. Farida announced plans to ban catching, buying, and selling of mother hilsa from 4 October to 25 October and said that during the ban, 620,000 fishing family households across 165 upazilas in 37 districts will receive VGF rice assistance — a total allocation of 15,500 tonnes of rice.
