    Today, cotton is a multibillion dollar industry. Cotton has been, and still is, a major commodity throughout the world for the past hundreds of years. In the early eighteenth century, cotton revolutionized production and trade throughout the world.

  • Essay On Export Sector In Bangladesh

    1255 Words  | 3 Pages

    The export sector within Bangladesh has grown to become an increasingly significant component of national trade, and has involved significant private sector investment over the last decade. The connection of production networks commonly involving small-scale producers, and traditional market and distribution systems, to supply raw materials for products meeting international standards, offers particular management and logistic challenges. Export has been improved markedly with strong external current account position and much larger capital and financial account inflows, leading to a rapid reserve buildup. The combination of a strong current account position and a large financial account surplus contributed to a sharp improvement in the overall Balance of Payment (BOP) position and a consequent rapid buildup of external foreign exchange reserves. Foreign exchange reserves of Bangladesh Bank (BB) crossed the US$ 18.00 billion in last year. The high level of reserves will also help maintain and further improve Bangladesh’s sovereign rating, which will help catalyze higher Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Bangladesh. The export sector earned US$ 27.00 billion in 2012-2013 with a target reaching US$ 30.5 billion in 2013-2014 fiscal year. During July-January 2013-2014, Bangladesh recorded US$ 7.18 billion in exports of woven garments, up 17.32 percent from the US$ 6.12 billion during the same period in last fiscal year.
