Message from President

Bangladesh is a country having vibrant industrial and agricultural sector. Hardworking, brave and visionary businessmen are working relentlessly to capture business opportunities home and abroad. Today, Bangladesh is the top source of all garments in the world. Being prominently an agrarian economy, more than 80% of the people are still in agriculture. However, it is also the most populous country in the world. The current dynamic Government has decided to give food security the topmost priority. The Prime Minister of the country has requested the business community to see the possibility of rice farming in Africa to reach our FOOD SECURITY goal.
