Al-Amin is a successful aquatic food producer from Rajshahi who produces fingerlings – juvenile fish for stocking in production systems – in his three ponds on 10 acres of land. His intention to expand his business in 2017 was not fruitful as he didn’t have the financial means and wasn’t able to secure a loan to do so. Many aquatic food producers in Rajshahi and Rangpur encounter similar difficulties in obtaining loans to expand their businesses.
