Alternative farming systems in Bangladesh show high profits from fish component.
The study looked at different ways of farming in Bangladesh to see which ones were most profitable. They used measures like gross margin and net farm income to compare the performance of each farming system. They found that growing vegetables and fruits, as well as raising fish, were the most profitable enterprises in all farming systems. Overall, the net farm income was good for all systems, but only one system made a positive management income. However, all systems gave a positive return to the farmers and managers, which means they were making money from their work.
