The price of hilsa shot up in the local market, influenced by demand for exports of the fish to India ahead of Durga puja, one of the biggest Hindu religious festivals, to be celebrated in the third week of October.
Fishers in the coastal district of Patuakhali are yet to get any support from the government’s Vulnerable Group Feeding (VGF) programme even though eight days have passed since the 22-day ban on catching hilsa began on October 7.
After the ban of 65 consecutive days, fishermen are finding bounties of hilsa in their nets. Having overcome the recession of the last two years, fishermen, trawler owners and traders are smiling at the abundance of hilsa.
