survey shows that, on an average, one boat with more or less 4-6 collectors carries around 50-80<br />
Kg of shrimp large (bagda).<br />
Value Addition<br />
Like in shrimp large (galda), costs and returns for shrimp (bagda) show that more than twothirds<br />
of value addition in price is made by collectors (Table 5.6). After the collectors, retailers<br />
create the next highest price value addition (11.1%), followed by Majhis/Beparis (6.7%), Choto<br />
and Boro Mahajans (both 4.4%), Aratdars (3.6%) and wholesalers (3.1%).<br />

Just like shrimp large (bagda), Aratdars (45%), wholesalers (26%) and Boro Mahajans (11%)<br />
are the major actors in terms of volume of trade. Collectors have volume of trade amounting to<br />
less than 1 percent (0.42%).<br />
Gross returns and net returns<br />
Aratdars have the highest absolute gross and net returns, monthly returns being estimated as Tk<br />
61,600 and Tk 48,950 respectively. Of all the actors, relatively the Aratdars, again, have the<br />
highest proportion of gross or net returns (around 36-38%), followed by wholesalers (around<br />
19%), Boro Mahajans (around 11%) and Choto Mahajans (9%). As usual, collectors have the<br />
least gross or net returns (6%). In absolute terms, the Aratdars have net income more than 7<br />
times as much compared to that earned by collectors.<br />
The data on working capital for shrimp large (bagda) were not available so that net returns on<br />
investments have not been estimated.<br />
