FBCCI to work with British-Bangladesh chamber to widen export market
The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) will work with the British-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BBCCI) to expand the south Asian country's export market in the UK.
FBCCI President Md Jashim Uddin said this when BBCCI President Bashir Ahmed made a courtesy call on Jashim Uddin at his Dhaka office today.
Apart from readymade garments, no other Bangladeshi product is exported to Britain on a large scale and the main buyers of the products are mainly Bangladeshi expatriates, Jashim Uddin said.
So, the FBCCI, in an attempt to change this situation, wants to jointly work with the BBCCI, he added.
To this end, the FBCCI will soon hold a meeting with the visiting BBCCI delegation in Dhaka with traders of agricultural and processed food products, leather goods and footwear and handicrafts of Bangladesh, he said.
The BBCCI president said Bangladeshi exporters are lagging behind in marketing strategy in Britain.
The interest of British buyers to buy the products of Bangladesh would be increased if they get the information about the progress of Bangladesh, he added.
However, the leaders of the two trade organisations have agreed to form a sector-based working group between businessmen of the two countries in the future.
