Portrait from Bangladesh III

Rajshahi,
Bangladesh


So many diverse faces and features in Bangladesh. And this face belongs to a fisherman of shrimp, he has a wife and five children and struggles to support them.
Along with the export of readymade garments, shrimp fishing makes up the majority of Bangladesh export. But as in the garment industry, there are rogues and unscrupulous middlemen trying to make a quick penny at the expense of others. At the end of 2012 the EU were raising concerns that shrimp from Bangladesh may be tampered with by injection, to increase the size. Should a ban be incurred it will be to the costs of this shrimp farmer and his family.
