PURBANI FISHERIES LTD
 
Established as a sole proprietorship export-oriented fish processing plant in 1979, it was started with only one processing plant in Cox’s Bazar. Purbani Fisheries Ltd., processes raw fish into dehydrated salted fish for export to overseas markets – namely in the far East. To highlight the achievement of this company, the government of  Bangladesh recognized Purbani Fisheries as the highest exporters in fish products for the fiscal year in 1996-1997.
 
Demand for dehydrated salted fish has been so high that four more processing centers around the area of Cox’s Bazar had to be created. Annually 200 MT of dehydrated salted sea fish is processed through the five processing centers.
