This article presents a framework for Pangas and Tilapia supply and value addition in Bangladesh based on different market prices. In this paper, we extend the analysis by assessing the different marketing costs of intermediaries and arathdar commissions. Using stratified random sampling techniques and structured questionnaires with face-to-face interviews, 950 samples were surveyed; these samples were collected from Dhaka, including Gazipur , Mymensingh , Cumilla , Bagura , and Khulna, as well as from Jossore , Chattagram , and Barishal , including Vhola and Dinajpur districts. Few actors are more powerful in relation to the supply chain in Pangas and Tilapia farming, and they earn more profit. The added value of Pangas arathder is Tk. 11017, Tk. 9506 and Tk. 8954 per ton according to the size of the fish, which were above 2 kg, 1-2 kg and less than 1 kg. However, the value added by the Pangas wholesaler was Tk 6613. 6859 and Tk. 6292 per ton, which is lower than that of arathdar. The value added by the retailer of Pangas is Tk. 13602, 12067 and 11504 per ton according to the size of the fish, which were greater than 2 kg, 1-2 kg and less than 1 kg, respectively. However, in Tilapia farming, the value added is greater than that of Pangas arathder , which is Tk. 15685, Tk. 10669 and Tk. 8041 per ton according to size of fish. The study also revealed that the value added by Tilapia wholesalers and retailers was greater than that added by Pangas wholesalers and retailers, for which Tk was 10496 and Tk, respectively. 9492 and Tk. 7916 per ton. Because the market price of tilapia is higher than that of Pangas. In the Pangas and Tilapia Value Chain, Farmer > Arathdar > Retailer > Hotel was the most efficient channel, and the least efficient channel was Farmer > Local Wholesaler > Retailer > Final Consumer.
Therefore, the government should monitor feed quality and improved the governance of pangas and tilapia value chain. Additionally, to explore the export potential of these fishes, DoF , BFRI and NGOs should fulfill their roles in training chain actors and providing extension services.
