Bangladesh is one of the most promising countries in the production and export of bagda and lobster. The country has more than 275,000 hectares of fresh and brackish water enclosures suitable for shrimp farming along the vast coastal area. Besides, there are numerous ponds, paddy fields and natural reservoirs throughout the country where freshwater lobsters can be produced. The soil, water salinity level and favorable climate here are very suitable for shrimp farming, so Bagda or Galda can be farmed at least twice a year.
Since 1980, the American NGO Winrock International has been working with fisheries and agriculture in Bangladesh.
