Project Overview:

This includes identifying market opportunities, establishing linkages between producers and buyers, improving post-harvest handling and logistics, and supporting the development of aquaculture producer groups and cooperatives. The role involves significant engagement with private sector actors, cooperatives, traders, processors, and government institutions to enhance market access and incomes for aquaculture stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Map actors across the aquaculture value chain and develop strategies to link smallholder farmers with high-value and stable markets.
  • Facilitate partnerships with aggregators, processors, retailers, exporters, and institutional buyers.
  • Support the development and strengthening of farmer producer organizations (FPOs), cooperatives, and self-help groups for collective marketing.
  • Design and implement market-led training programs on quality standards, grading, pricing, logistics, and contract negotiation.
  • Introduce or improve digital tools and platforms for market intelligence, traceability, and e- commerce in aquaculture.
  • Promote sustainable and gender-sensitive market systems that improve income security for small holder producers.
  • Support cold chain development, transportation solutions, and post-harvest infrastructure planning.
  • Monitor, document, and report on market linkage interventions and outcomes.
  • Work collaboratively with the production, seed, and policy teams to align market strategies with upstream activities.

Qualifications:

Education:-

  • Master's degree in Agribusiness, Agricultural Economics, Marketing, Rural Development, Fisheries Economics, or a related field.

Experience:-

  • At least 10 years of relevant experience in market linkage, agribusiness development, or value chain strengthening, ideally in aquaculture or fisheries industry.
  • Demonstrated success in linking small-holder producers to local, regional, or export markets.
  • Experience working with FPOs, cooperatives, private sector companies, and government schemes (e.g., PMMSY, NABARD).

Skills and Competencies:-

  • Strong knowledge of aquaculture value chains, especially post-harvest, trading, and retail dynamics.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement, negotiation, and partnership-building skills.
  • Familiarity with market-based approaches to development, including inclusive business models.
  • Strong communication skills in Hindi and English and preferably work experience in Bihar.
  • Proficiency in digital tools for market access and mobile-based platforms is an asset.
  • Willingness to travel frequently to project locations.
