Made in Bangladesh fair in New York Oct 17-19
Tuesday, 23 September 2008
A Bangladeshi product-based exhibition styled 'Made in Bangladesh' will be held in New York on October 17-19 for promoting the country's world-class commodities in the United States, reports UNB.
First Multipurpose Services (FMS) LLC, a New York-based firm, in association with local advertising-firm Matra, is organising the three-day International fair at Manhattan's Penn Plaza Pavilion Exhibition Hall.
The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) of Bangladesh will extend its all-out support to the organisers in staging the trade show.
FMS's exhibition coordinator Raghib Ahsan at a press briefing at EPB office said that, so far, 66 Bangladeshi firms have registered with his firm to participate in the fair. "We are expecting the rest of the participants from US-based expatriate Bangladeshi businessmen."
He said there would be a total of 109 stalls and 5 pavilions in the exhibition with the Bangladeshi-labeled products. Most of the participants who registered for the fair are from readymade garment (RMG), knitwear, software, melamine, furniture, and real-estate sectors.
Matra's chief executive officer Anisur Rahman Mahmud said representatives of 26 participating firms have so far obtained US visa while others are under processing.
He foresees a tremendous chance for the participants to develop a linkage with the North American buyers of Bangladeshi products, particularly apparels and jute products.
