Popularity of local products at the trade fair
Thursday, 30 January 2014
A few days ago, I visited the International Trade Fair with my family. The fair was teeming with the enthusiastic visitors as it was Friday. When I stepped in the fair, I was surprised to see a huge number of visitors. This fair is one of the most anticipated fairs in our country. It is a good opportunity for the common people to get so many firsthand products of local and international markets. The fair started on January 10 and initially it failed to pull crowd because of the long political unrest. It is a good opportunity for our local companies to showcase their products and the local consumers are gradually leaning towards the local products because the quality of our local products has been improving rapidly. Bangladesh has much potential to become a business hub like Singapore and Hong Kong. We just need political stability, good infrastructure, end of all pervasive corruptions and improvement in the law and order situation.
