During a mission of the Sector Manager of Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) of the South Asia region of the World Bank to Bangladesh in November 2008, the Secretary of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries (MOFL) of the former Caretaker Government of Bangladesh (BD) requested the Sector Manager for assistance to the development of the dairy and fisheries subsectors to support the livelihoods of the rural people and contribute to the economic growth of the country. The secretary of the MOFL also reminded the Bank of its proposal for an investment request for dairy development to the Bank sent in 2007. In response, the Bank agreed to carry out a technical mission to review the current state of the livestock sector (with special focus on the dairy sub-sector) and the fisheries sector, particularly inland fishery production (including freshwater capture and freshwater aquaculture). The mission reviewed policy, technical and administrative aspects in order to identify key bottlenecks and assess the scope for Bank-supported further development of the sectors. This request of the Government is consistent with the emphasis in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Plan (PRSP) on further development of the livestock and fisheries sectors which together account for 7 percent of total Gross Domestic Product, or GDP (3 percent livestock, 4 percent fisheries) and 33 percent of agricultural GDP).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADULT BODY WEIGHTAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICESAGRICULTUREANIMALANIMAL FEEDANIMAL GENETICSANIMAL HEALTHANIMAL HUSBANDRYANIMAL POPULATIONANIMAL PROTEINANIMAL WASTEANIMALSAQUACULTUREARTIFICIAL INSEMINATIONAUDITSAVERAGE PRODUCTIVITYBEEFBEEF CATTLEBIO-DIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIRDSBREEDINGBREEDSBULLSCALVESCAPTURE FISHERIESCATTLE FEEDCATTLE FEEDINGCATTLE POPULATIONCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMON PROPERTYCOMMON PROPERTY RESOURCESCOWSCROP RESIDUESCURATIVE CAREDAIRYDAIRY BUSINESSDAIRY CATTLEDAIRY COMPANIESDAIRY COOPERATIVEDAIRY COWDAIRY COWSDAIRY DEVELOPMENTDAIRY ENTERPRISESDAIRY FARMERSDAIRY FARMINGDAIRY HERDDAIRY INDUSTRYDAIRY PLANTSDAIRY PROCESSORSDAIRY PRODUCTSDAIRY SECTORDAIRY SECTORSDAIRYINGDAY-OLD CHICKSDEMAND FOR MILKDEWORMINGDISEASE PREVENTIONDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDUCKSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MODELSEGGSELASTICITY OF DEMANDENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUIPMENTEXPANSION OF MILK PRODUCTIONEXPLOITATIONEXTENSIONEXTENSION SERVICESFARMFARMERFARMERSFARMSFATTENINGFEED ADDITIVESFEED INDUSTRYFEED MANAGEMENTFEED MILLSFEED PRICEFEED SUPPLEMENTSFEEDINGFEEDING SYSTEMSFEEDSTOCKFERTILIZERSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISH PRODUCTSFISHERIES MANAGEMENTFISHERSFISHERY PRODUCTIONFISHINGFODDERFODDER CROPSFODDER PRODUCTIONFOOD SAFETYFOOD SECURITYFORESTRYFOWLFRESH MILKGENDERGENETIC IMPROVEMENTGENETIC MATERIALGOATSGRASSESGRAZINGGRAZING LANDGROUNDNUT CAKEHIGH QUALITY MILKHOLSTEINHYBRIDHYBRIDSINCOMESINTEGRATIONJERSEYLACTATING COWSLACTATION LENGTHLARGE DAIRYLIVESTOCKLIVESTOCK ACTIVITIESLIVESTOCK DATALIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENTLIVESTOCK FEEDLIVESTOCK HOLDINGLIVESTOCK INDUSTRYLIVESTOCK INSURANCELIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLIVESTOCK RESEARCHLIVESTOCK SECTORLIVESTOCK SERVICELIVESTOCK SERVICE PROVIDERSLIVESTOCK SERVICESLOCAL BREEDLOW INCOMELOW MILK YIELDSMARKET ACCESSMEATMILKMILK COLLECTIONMILK COMPANIESMILK CONSUMPTIONMILK COOLERMILK COOLERSMILK COWMILK COWSMILK HANDLINGMILK MARKETMILK MARKETINGMILK OUTPUTMILK POWDERMILK PROCESSINGMILK PROCESSORSMILK PROCUREMENTMILK PRODUCERSMILK PRODUCTMILK PRODUCTIONMILK PRODUCTSMILK SECTORMILK SOLIDSMILK SUPPLYMILK YIELDNATIONAL MILK PRODUCTIONNATURAL RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENTNGOSNUTRIENTSNUTRITIONOFFALPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOULTRYPOULTRY DISEASESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTION COSTSPROTEIN SUPPLEMENTRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL LIVELIHOODSSCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGESERICULTURESHEEPSMALL-SCALE FARMERSSMALLHOLDERSSTALL FEEDINGSTRAWSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTOTAL MILK PRODUCTIONTRANSACTION COSTSVACCINESVETERINARYVETERINARY CAREVETERINARY SERVICESVETERINARY UNITSWATER RESOURCESWETLANDSWOODWorld Bank10.1596/12444
