Variety in Bangladeshi denim needed to boost exports

Bangladeshi denim makers should bring in diversity to their products as the items have bright prospects because of their competitive prices and quality, say various experts. Wanja Campos da Nóbrega, Brazilian ambassador to Bangladesh opines that the country should not only increase the number of international buyers, but also bring variety to its products range. At the closing ceremony of the two-day Bangladesh Denim Expo at Bashundhara Convention City in Dhaka, he stated that exports of Bangladesh's denim products will grow further with more variety in products.

Russian ambassador, Alexander A Nikolaev, urged the organisers of the denim show to invite Russian denim companies to the expo in 2016, as Russia could also be a major market for such Bangladeshi products. The demand for denim products is on the rise because they are environment-friendly, opined Hanne Fugl Eskjaer, Danish ambassador in Dhaka. While Robert Gibson, the British High Commissioner believes that new technologies and increasing fabric diversity are the challenges to maintaining steady growth of Bangladesh's denim exports. He also said that investing in skills improvement would increase productivity and the private sector has to lead the effort and that the government will also have to play a very vital role in taking the denim sector ahead.

Faruque Hassan, Vice-President, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), said that at present Bangladesh exports denim products worth $3.5 billion a year, and stakeholders are working to double that number by the end of 2021.
