Abstract
Exporting is very important for developing countries. Small and medium sized companies in the developing countries face several barriers when exporting their products in the developed countries. Bangladesh is a small country in the South East Asia. The shrimp exporting sector is the second biggest export sector of Bangladesh. The purpose of the thesis was to find the major export barriers faced by the small and medium sized shrimp exporting companies of Bangladesh to the European market.
The thesis process was implemented by qualitative research process. Representatives of three small and medium sized shrimp exporting companies were interviewed to get primary data. The secondary data were collected from related literature and relevant internet sources.
The result of the research illustrates that the major barriers faced by Bangladeshi small and medium sized shrimp exporting companies are lack of finance for exporting and excessive transportation cost. Besides that there are some other barriers faced by the small and medium sized shrimp exporting companies in Bangladesh. The industry also lacks proper market research & advertising.
