Value-Added Fish Products: A Case Study of Mostak Uddin

Mr. Mostak Uddin, 42, is a resident of Paschim Gohira village in the Raozan area of Chattogram district. He initially operated a "Kushumkoli Fast Food" outlet, primarily selling traditional snacks such as singara, samucha, and rolls. Recognizing the potential for value-added fish products and the need for healthier options, he transitioned his business with support from the RMTP project.

 

Through this project, he received training in value-added fish production, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Hygiene Practices (GHP), as well as guidance on market linkages, packaging, and branding. He acquired essential equipment, including a deep freezer, frying pan, trays, spoons, forks, vacuum sealer, date coder, food-coded boxes, and safe fish, which RMTP partly financed.

To expand his production, he engaged his wife to help make fish balls, fish fingers, fish cutlets, and other value-added fish products at home, ensuring the use of safe fish and maintaining strict hygiene standards. These homemade products are sold through his "Kushumkoli Fast Food" outlet.

 

On both online and offline platforms, he has sold an average of 420 boxes of these products each month, generating a profit of approximately 33,000 Taka. While he currently operates from his existing food outlet, he aspires to establish a dedicated factory for the production of value-added fish products.
