DFM Bangladesh literature review

Some overarching themes in Dried Fish literature of Bangladesh and some possible ways forward

In this work in progress document, we provide a brief mapping of the available research literature/ resources on dried fish research in Bangladesh. The document is of course not exhaustive and purports to remain a live document and grow in the future! We have identified at least five trends out of various knowledge production attempts on the dried fish economy in Bangladesh. These works (grouped in five different themes) have various policy implications for the dried fish economy in Bangladesh.
