Bangladesh showcases fisheries, investment potential

Bangladesh showcased its growing fisheries sector and investment potential at the 24th Busan International Seafood & Fisheries Expo (BISFE 2026), held in Busan, South Korea, from November 4 to 6.

The Embassy of Bangladesh in Seoul, in collaboration with the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), participated in the three-day expo, which featured 506 companies from 32 countries with around 1,300 booths.

The expo was held at BEXCO Exhibition Hall 1 in Busan, South Korea, reports BSS.

Globe Fisheries Ltd., a private company nominated by the EPB, showcased Bangladeshi fisheries products at booths K-29-30.

Visitors and buyers showed keen interest in Bangladeshi seafood, particularly croakers, baim and shrimp, said a press release issued by the Bangladesh mission in Seoul.

A major highlight of Bangladesh’s participation was a dedicated high-level seminar held on November 5 under the title “Bangladesh: Your Emerging, High-Value Sourcing and Investment Partner in Seafood & Fisheries”.

The seminar highlighted Bangladesh’s aquatic resources, fisheries production potential and investment opportunities, including deep-sea fishing trawler modernization, cold-chain infrastructure, marine biotechnology and joint-venture processing facilities.

The participation aimed to promote Bangladeshi exports to South Korea and attract international buyers and investors.

It is expected to strengthen Bangladesh-South Korea business ties and boost investment and export earnings in the fisheries sector.
