Program Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The session addressed essential topics, including the current state of the industry, key opportunities, and pressing challenges, with an emphasis on policy reforms and strategic approaches for sustainable sectoral growth. Aiming to unify stakeholder efforts, the session explored solutions for stabilizing supply-demand dynamics, advancing food and feed safety standards, strengthening biosecurity measures, and identifying investment opportunities to support modernization and climate resilience in the poultry sector. This roundtable presented an invaluable opportunity for the Netherlands and Bangladesh to collaborate on strategies to shape the future of Bangladesh\u2019s poultry sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roundtable highlighted the critical role of data-driven policymaking to address inefficiencies and ensure a balanced supply of Day Old Chicks (DOCs) in the market. Participants stressed the urgency of revisiting the tariff structures and tax policies, particularly the Advance Income Tax (AIT) on raw material imports, which hinders competitiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions also underscored the potential of integrating renewable energy solutions, such as solar power, into farm operations to reduce costs and improve sustainability. Furthermore, the forum emphasized the importance of transitioning from informal markets to formalized slaughterhouses and supply chains to enhance food safety and export readiness, positioning Bangladesh to meet growing domestic and global protein demands effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
