The Feed the Future Bangladesh Aquaculture Activity (BAA) is a five-year project of USAID which is working to improve nutrition through growth in the aquaculture sector. BAA works in 21 districts of southwestern Bangladesh and two districts in the southeast. In Bangladesh, the fisheries sector is huge. The fish value chain is about 3.7% of GDP and about 23% of the whole agriculture sector. About 17 million people, more than 11% of the population, earn incomes from fisheries.
