Dear Moderator,
 
I would like to respond to the views of Dr. Saleque on immensely successful BRAC model for FP. The fact that the value chain is too long in case of indigenous chicken with higher no. of middlemen leading to low remuneration to primary producer and high price for consumers is very worrisome. However with suggestions for the government to take an active role in the promotion of both core and services markets, I wonder what would be the turning point when we decide that FP should be more economically viable/ sustainable in a more commercial way rather than sticking to basic objectives of supplementary income generation and family nutrition?
 
Kind Regards,
 
Sujit Nayak
