Message from the President
Lutfur Rahman Kajal (MP)
President
SHAB is steering Bangladesh’s shrimp sector toward a disciplined dual‑species model. Penaeus monodon stays our premium flagship—backed by stronger broodstock control, biosecurity, and traceability. Penaeus vannamei will be phased in (SPF, zoning, certification) to deliver steady, cost‑competitive volume. Together they diversify risk, stabilise exports, and keep plants utilised year‑round.
