SME Foundation to hold national, regional fairs
SME Foundation will organise national and regional fairs in the current fiscal year to help create markets for products made by small and medium enterprises and promote them.
The national body responsible for promoting SMEs will organise a weeklong National SME Fair in the capital's Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in February next year. The foundation will also organise three-day Regional SME Products Fair in seven divisions and districts, it said in a statement yesterday.
The fairs in Rangpur and Rajshahi will take place on October 23-25 and on November 20-22 this year respectively.
The shows in Cox's Bazar will be organised in January next year, in Barisal and Jessore in March and in Sylhet and Gopalganj in April. Besides, a separate fair will take place in Rangamati in December this year which will exclusively showcase products made by the SMEs in the hilly areas.
During these fairs, the SMEs will only be allowed to display and sell locally made products in the categories such as jute, food and agro-processing, leather, electrical, electronics, light engineering, plastics, synthetic, handicraft, jewellery and fashion-wears.
A stall at the national fair will cost Tk 8,000 and at regional fairs Tk 1,000, according to the statement.
