Feed Industries Association Bangladesh (FIAB) yesterday protested the government's recent decision to make it mandatory to use jute bags for packaging poultry and fish feed products, reports UNB.

The feed makers in a press statement claimed that using jute bags for packaging would decrease the quality of the products as well as increase the price.

They said, there are no such law in the world as it is not possible to protect the standard of the feed in jute bags.

The products get rotten very quickly and as a result they become inappropriate for using as meal for fish or poultry, said a FIAB press release asking for revoking the decision.

FIAB President Moshiur Rahman in the statement said, the products can be preserved for highest 10 days if packaged in jute bags due to high humidity of the country's air. Getting exposed in air, the products become toxic being infected with fungus.
