Shrimp Farming BD is only available in Bengali language, but already has 14,000 users, including some in the neighboring Indian State of West Bengal. Under the COVID-19 conditions this year, it has been particularly valuable as a support to Bangladeshi smallholder shrimp and prawn farmers, and will serve them as a remote learning resource well into the future.
