Fishermen in Kuakata are unable to go to sea due to an ice shortage, crucial for preserving their catch after deep-sea fishing. The price of ice has surged from 150 to 200–250 taka per can. Rough weather has forced over a thousand trawlers to seek shelter, increasing local demand. Limited production, power outages, and insufficient local supply have worsened the crisis, prompting traders to bring ice from nearby regions at higher costs, affecting the hilsa fishing season.

Ice Shortage in Kuakata Prevents Fishermen from Going to Sea

Fishermen need ice to preserve their catch after deep-sea fishing. Before heading out, trawlers are stocked with sufficient ice. However, during the peak hilsa season, an ice shortage has emerged in Mahipur, Patuakhali, and even the available ice is being sold at higher prices. Currently, a 150-taka can of ice is selling for 200–250 taka. Since last Monday, this situation has prevented fishermen from going to sea.
