Chain: Collector ⇒ Mahajan ⇒ Aratdar/Depot ⇒ Exporter<br />

Mollusc/Shell/Oyster<br />

Chain 1: Collector ⇒ Mahajan ⇒ Miller ⇒ Fishmeal/Poultry Wholesaler ⇒ Retailer<br />

In the case of mollusc/shell/oyster, millers constitute a major actor who manufactures<br />

fishmeal or poultry feed.<br />

Chain 1: Collector ⇒ Mahajan ⇒ Wholesaler ⇒ Retailer<br />

Although sometimes honey is also exported such purchases are made directly from wholesalers.<br />

Mapping for Total Number of Actors in SIZ<br />

The total number of collectors is estimated as approximately 10.8 lacs. The estimates refer to<br />

whole year, rather than only relevant harvest time. Our survey indicates that an average<br />

collector get engaged in 1.8 products in a year. On this bases, the total number of collectors<br />

estimates as 6 lacs. As regards the distribution of total number of collectors across districts,<br />

Khulna occupies the highest position (48.7%), followed by Bagerhat (22.3%), Barguna (12.7%),<br />

Pirojpur (12.3%) and, the lowest, Satkhira (4.1%).<br />

The total number of actors (including collectors) is estimated as 13.37 lacs. On the assumption<br />

that one actor deals with 1.8 products whole year, the total number of actors estimates as 7.4<br />

lacs. Product wise distribution shows that the highest number of actors is engaged in shrimp fry<br />

(galda) (24.3%), followed by in shrimp fry (bagda) (17.8%).<br />

Mapping for Geographical Flows<br />

The basis of assessing the product movements in the economy emerges from the assumption that the<br />

actors, by and large, are well informed about and geographical destinations of SRF products<br />

including their end-use.<br />

According to first-stage movement, the SRF products are traded within SIZ upazilas to the extent<br />

more than one third (34.1%), while the proportion that are traded in other parts of the country<br />

(e.g., Khulna, Chittagong and Dhaka- presumably some for exports, and other parts of the<br />

country) estimates as about little less than two-thirds (63.7%). The traded quantity, directly from<br />

SIZ to outside the country, is estimated as about only 2.3 percent.<br />

The geographical distribution by SRF products can be seen in text of Chapter 4.<br />

Chapter 5: Value Chain Analysis for SRF Products<br />

A total of 12 SRF products have been included in the value chain analysis. We start with golpata.<br />

The major SRF actors and their functions/roles in the value chains are described in Annex B.<br />
