Sectoral Context. Aquatic products are the most internationally traded agriculture commodity in the world. The global seafood market is estimated around USD 80 billion and farmed products make up an increasingly greater proportion of the trade due largely to stagnating wild fisheries supplies. The highest value commodity group traded around the world is “crustacean”; the group to which shrimp and prawn belong to. Over 70 percent of the crustacean production originates from small- scale aquaculture farms. The two major crustacean species produced in the world are; Penaeus spp. (marine shrimp) and Macrobrachium sp. (freshwater prawn). Major market for these products from Asia is the European Union (European Union). Shrimp and prawn are important export commodities for Bangladesh as well. In 2008, Bangladesh produced 69 350 tonnes of shrimp and prawn products and exported 69 326 tonnes, mainly to the European Union and the United States of America, valued at USD 564 million (Figure 2 and Table 1).

(i) Ensure sustainable supply of forest products and services to meet the needs at the local and national levels;
(ii) Enhance national capacity to manage and develop the forest sector in a collaborative manner;
(iii) Enable legal and regulatory frameworks for the sector in place and;
(iv) Increase economic contribution, employment and foreign exchange earnings through sustainable forest-based industry development and trade of forest products. The NFP (2001-2010) is based on four implementation programmes covering both forest management as well as institutional and human resources development aspects. The NFP development programmes are:
(i) Forest Resources Conservation and Management programme which aims at promoting gender balanced stakeholders participation in the management of natural and plantation forests, giving priority to ecosystems conservation, catchment areas and sustainable utilization of forest resources;
(ii) Institutions and Human Resources Development programme which aims at strengthening institutional set up, coordination of forest management, establishing sustainable forest sector funding and improvement in research, extension services and capacity building through strengthening human resources;
(iii) Legal and Regulatory Framework programme which focuses on the development of regulatory issues including the Forest Act, rules, regulations and guidelines to facilitate operations of the private sector and participatory management, and
(iv) Forestry Based Industries and Sustainable Livelihoods programme which is intended to enhance forest industry development by promoting private sector investment, improving productivity and efficiency and to tap the income generation opportunities provided by NWFPS.
