5.3.4 Hilsha<br />

Hilsha is country’s national fish. It is also important for its contribution to exports. However, the<br />

study has contemplated value chain across only domestic actors or agents. An average collector<br />

of hilsha fish earns annual income in the range of only Tk 40,413, almost progressively followed<br />

by Majhis/Beparis (Tk 97,308), Choto Mahajans (Tk 187,517), Boro Mahajans (Tk 316,195),<br />

Aratdars (305,473), wholesalers (Tk 132,692) and retailers (Tk 71,722) (Table 5.19). Unlike in<br />

other products such as golpata and gura fish, Boro Mahajans, rather than Aratdars, in this value<br />

chain earn the highest amount of income, as presumably they play as Aratdars too. The degree of<br />

inequality in the value chain appears to be quite high in that the average annual income earned<br />

by the collectors, for example, estimates as nearly 8 times as less as earned by a Boro Mahajan.<br />
