Promotion of poultry sector

It is necessary to extend logistic supports and motivate people to expand the sector

Experts at a media workshop in Rangpur recently rightly said the flourishing poultry sector might be very effective in attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs) by reducing poverty and meeting nutritional demand. According to a report in this newspaper on Monday, 139 poultry farms produced 140 crore pieces of eggs against the demand of 143 lakh pieces and 6.02 lakh tonnes of chicken meat against the demand of 6.72 lakh tonnes for 1.55 crore people in Rangpur division last year increasing production by 10 times in 10 years. It is, indeed, a silent revolution in the poultry industry in Rangpur region.

Promotion of the poultry sector is very important to remove the existing protein deficiency alongside ensuring food security. It is encouraging to note that Bangladesh has made great success in fish production within a short time. Fish meets the requirement for protein in human body. Now the government should give due emphasis to promotion of the poultry sector. As a matter of fact, protein is the vital nutrition for normal growth and development of brain and other essential nourishments of human body. Demand of eggs has also increased with the population boom in the country.  

The country has immense prospects of expanding the poultry sector through the best uses of its existing natural resources. The sector can meet up the nutritional deficit substantially. Substantial and sustainable promotion of the country’s poultry sector through removing its existing problems to cut the nation’s protein deficiency is the prime need of the hour. What is needed is extending logistic supports and motivation of people about the importance of expanding the poultry sector.

The vast youth force in the country can be engaged in this sector. It can solve unemployment problem greatly. A family can earn a substantial amount of money by selling eggs and meats from the poultry farms after meeting its demand. The ministry of fisheries and livestock and the department concerned can provide necessary financial and logistic supports to the people willing to undertake poultry farming and other related jobs.

 Provision of bank loans on easy terms and conditions and adequate training to the poultry farmers, particularly jobless youths, can give impetus in this regard. The contribution of the livestock sector is immense in terms of meeting the protein deficiency and socio economic development. All concerned should come forward for flourishing the poultry sector. Generation of awareness can also bring the desired results.
