Abstract This study assessed the export potential of pangasius and tilapia by considering quality standards and safety compliances of processing plants and exporters (the same companies) in Bangladesh. Primary data were collected by interviewing ten of these companies. It was found that they followed the seven principles of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) as a basis of food safety management. Almost 90% of the processing plants had a system of records documenting these rules and all of them were strict in maintaining hygienic conditions, had adequate processing equipment and product configuration systems. A comparative advantage of pangasius and tilapia export from Bangladesh to the US, Europe and the Middle East as fillets, dressed and whole fish were also identified. The major opportunity of enhancing export and thereby ensure earnings and foreign currencies was identified as a continued focus on large farming quantities, combined with that processing and exporters live up to the HACCP rules. Introducing eco-labels allowing products to obey to supermarket requirements at export markets and enhancing environment friendliness in production are further opportunities. It was recommended that the companies engage in contract farming to ensure quality raw material and thereby a reasonable export price.

通过质量保证和安全合规提高巴沙鱼和罗非鱼的出口潜力：孟加拉国加工厂和出口商的案例研究

摘要 本研究通过考虑孟加拉国加工厂和出口商（同一公司）的质量标准和安全合规性来评估巴沙鱼和罗非鱼的出口潜力。主要数据是通过采访其中 10 家公司收集的。结果发现，他们遵循了危害分析和关键控制点（HACCP）的七项原则作为食品安全管理的基础。几乎 90% 的加工厂都有记录这些规则的记录系统，并且都严格保持卫生条件，拥有足够的加工设备和产品配置系统。还确定了从孟加拉国向美国、欧洲和中东出口巴沙鱼和罗非鱼作为鱼片、去皮和整条鱼的比较优势。加强出口从而确保收入和外汇的主要机会被确定为继续关注大批量农业，同时加工和出口商遵守 HAC​​CP 规则。引入生态标签，使产品符合出口市场超市的要求，并在生产中提高环境友好性，这是进一步的机会。建议这些公司从事订单农业，以确保优质的原材料和合理的出口价格。引入生态标签，使产品符合出口市场超市的要求，并在生产中提高环境友好性，这是进一步的机会。建议这些公司从事订单农业，以确保优质的原材料和合理的出口价格。引入生态标签，使产品符合出口市场超市的要求，并在生产中提高环境友好性，这是进一步的机会。建议这些公司从事订单农业，以确保优质的原材料和合理的出口价格。
