Bangladesh’s poultry industry is one of the fastest-growing segments of the country’s agribusiness sector, supplying over 40% of the nation’s protein intake and directly employing more than 6 million people across farming, hatcheries, feed production, and processing. With increasing domestic demand, advances in feed technology, and growing interest from investors, the sector is moving toward greater modernization and efficiency.

This fireside chat brings together two of the country’s most influential poultry entrepreneurs—Shamsul Arefin Khaled, Director of Nourish Poultry & Hatchery Ltd., and Mehran Rahman, Director of Paragon Group—to discuss the evolution of the industry, the shift toward sustainable and climate-smart practices, and the potential for deeper international partnerships and technology transfer.

Whether you’re in agribusiness, food supply, or investment, this session offers a timely look at a sector shaping the future of food and farming in Bangladesh.
