Primary and secondary data sources are used in this study. Primary data has been collected employing the following techniques: 3.1. Focus Group Discussion In the group conversation we met some people who are directly involved with the fish collection and processing in the Kuakata area. Through this conversation, we found information related to valuing and value addition on raw fish at different stages, fish drying and marketing apparatus, marketing chain transportation and value addition and finally lending on dried fish business. 3.2. Stakeholders Interview In the supply chain of dried fisheries products, we identified the following stakeholders from kuakata and Dhaka: fishers, dry fish producers, aratdar, commission agents, pikers, whole-sellers, supermarkets, entrepreneurs and NGOs. For collecting information from these different types of stakeholders, we developed separate questionnaires by stakeholders. Through the questionnaire, we collected some information related to finance, supply chain, profit area, value addition, processing, stocking process, time duration, different problem area and transportation. After that, we identified the value stream map of dried fish’s supply chain and analyzed it. 5. Dried fish in Bangladesh Dried fish edible and preserved through the removal of moisture. Fish drying as a means of preservation has been practiced since time immemorial in this region, and dry fish is considered as a delicacy in the menu of many people of Bangladesh (www.banglapedia.org). The basic principle of fish drying is that the activity of the muscle enzyme and microorganism is reduced to a minimum through drawing out the water content of the fish by sun-drying in a traditional way. Munir , Nazrul & Shamsuddoha, 2006 conducted important research on Value Chain Analysis in the dry fish production and marketing of Post-Harvest Fishery Products (PHFP) in the coastal belt of Bangladesh. Where they mentioned some important spots: Dublar Char of SUNDARBANS, ST MARTIN'S ISLAND, Rangabali, Sonadia Island, Moheshkhali, Cox's Bazar, Kuakata. These are all coastal areas where modern preservation facilities and good infrastructure for transportation are vague. The important marine and freshwater species that are dried are Loitya (Harpodonneherius), Poa (Panna microdon), Parse (Liza persia), Phasa (Setipinna phasa), Taposi (Polynemus paradiseus), Boiragi (Coilia dussumieri), Fatra (Raconda russeliana), Pama (Otolithes pama), Chhuri (Lepturacanthussavala), Punti (Puntiussarana, P. stigma), chapila (Gadusiachapra), Lakhua (Polynemusindicus), Rupchanda (Pampuschinensis), and shrimps (Metapenaeus species and Penaeus species) identified by (Munir , Nazrul & Shamsuddoha, 2006). 6. Major channel in the supply chain of dried fish In the supply chain of dried fish’s we have identified some major channel of that sector. We can define them as the intermediaries in the supply chain. Firstly fisherman collects the fish from the sea. Sometimes the fisherman himself involves in dried fish processing. Those who are not directly involved with the dried fish processing, send their fish to the processor or the dried fish maker, then follow some steps to process the fresh fish to the dried fish. Finally, the processor sell dried fish to a third party like the aratdar (local wholesaler) etc. Then the supply chain depends on the number of intermediaries. It may go through a huge no. of intermediaries or a few no of intermediaries to the ultimate customers. Here we have identified a traditional and most common supply chain of dried fish’s which encompass 4/5 intermediaries from fisherman to ultimate customers. Here we have included a supply chain of dried fish which we have made on the basis of survey information conducted in Kuakata and Dhaka. But this chain is more or less the same for the other part of the country.
