Bangladeshi importers and businessmen see big opportunities and potentials in importing dates, oranges, other fruits and agricultural products from Pakistan to meet the demand throughout the year, including during the holy month of Ramadan.
They also believe that there are huge potentials for exporting various Bangladeshi products to Pakistan.
For this, businessmen from both countries have called for the removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers between the two countries.
These issues came up for discussion at a meeting held between a delegation of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry and a business delegation from Pakistan in the capital’s Gulshan area on Wednesday.
The meeting was presided over by FBCCI administrator Md Hafizur Rahman. In his welcome speech, he said that there was a huge demand for dates in Bangladesh during the holy month of Ramadan.
Along with this, the demand for other fruits also increases during that time, said an FBCCI press release.
Besides, there is a lot of demand for domestic and foreign fruits on the local market throughout the year.
‘Pakistan can be an affordable and easily accessible source of fruits and agricultural products for Bangladesh,’ said the FBCCI administrator.
Stressing on boosting bilateral trade between Bangladesh and Pakistan, Md Hafizur Rahman said that there was an opportunity to expand trade between the two countries through joint initiatives and mutual cooperation in the private sector.
He also emphasised the importance of completing a Bangladesh-Pakistan trade agreement.
Businessmen from both countries emphasised the development of logistics, supply chain, cold storage, packaging and goods transportation systems to facilitate and expand trade between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
The meeting was attended among others by Zain Aziz, trade and investment attaché of the Pakistan High Commission in Dhaka, Md Zafar Iqbal, head of the international affairs department of FBCCI, FBCCI leaders, members of the Pakistani business delegation, leaders of the Bangladesh Fresh Fruits Importers Association and others.

Pakistan high commissioner to Bangladesh Syed Ahmed Maruf on Thursday stressed promoting business and reducing trade gap between Bangladesh and Pakistan for the benefit of the two countries.
‘There was no alternative to promote trade and economic ties as part of bilateral relations between the two friendly countries,’ he said while speaking at a view exchange meeting held between the visiting Pakistani trade delegation and leading businessmen of Chattogram.
He said, ‘We have no alternatives to improve business-to-business ties to boost the existing relation...Although there is a bilateral trade between Bangladesh and Pakistan, there is a huge trade deficit tilting towards Pakistan which needs to be addressed,’ the envoy said.
The meeting was held at the Conference Hall of World Trade Center with Administrator of Chattogram Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) and Additional Divisional Commissioner (General) of Chattogram Muhammad Anwar Pasha in the chair.
The high commissioner said Bangladeshi businessmen will have to work actively on how to increase export to Pakistan rather than increasing import from Pakistan.
There has been a significant change in trade relations between
Bangladesh and Pakistan in the last few months, he said referring to the recent introduction of direct shipping links and Bangladesh’s initiative to import 50,000 metric tonnes of rice.
The envoy put emphasis on direct flight operations between Dhaka and Islamabad to improve further the bilateral trade ties. He later, invited Bangladeshi businessmen to visit Pakistan to explore new business opportunities.
Welcoming the Pakistan’s intention to promote trade and economic ties, CCCI Administrator Muhammad Anwar Pasha said no notable products from Bangladesh have exported to Pakistan although we have religious, historical and traditional similarities.
‘Whereas Pakistan is the 19th importing country of Bangladesh and about 700 million dollars worth of products are imported from Pakistan every year’ CCCI chief said.
