Businessmen from Turkey and Bangladesh, see immense potential to work together in fashion and fabric trade. At a recent meet they observed that Bangladesh is among the reliable sources in the world for producing readymade garments while Turkey is becoming a hub for good quality fabrics for the Middle East, and Eastern European fashion.

Turkish businesses showed an interest in increasing trade volume between Bangladesh and Turkey in the field of textile and clothing. They feel, Bangladesh can be the promising market for good quality fabrics while Turkey can be an important export destination for value added RMG products. However, business-to-business and government-to-government initiatives are necessary for that to happen.

Recently, to show its strength in textiles, Turkey organised a fashion and fabric fair titled ‘Premiere Vision Istanbul’. At the show held from March 23 to 25, nearly 146 exhibitors, mostly Turkish companies, presented their collections. Exhibitors from Italy, Germany, Portugal, France, Austria, Bulgaria, United Kingdom, Romania, Lithuania, Morocco, China, India, Taiwan and Pakistan showcased their fashion collection like yarns, fabrics, designs, accessories and denims, at the event.
