Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) in collaboration with Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) organized Taiwan Textile Fair South Asia-2015 that took off on Monday, Novemeber 23 to make Bangladesh familiar with Taiwan’s latest fibres, yarns, fabrics and apparels.
The two day textile fair brings to Bangladesh the best of Taiwan’s innovative and value-added fibers, yarns, fabrics, trimmings and apparels. It is the ideal platform and gateway to procure reliable, quality and original textiles. The creativity and functionality of Taiwanese textile products have long been recognized by international designers, brands, importers and retailers in all major importing countries.
The fair was inaugurated by Shubhashish Bose, vice-chairman of Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). BKMEA second vice president Mansoor Ahmed and Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) Dhaka office director Danny Yang were also present at the inauguration programme.
Speaking at the programme EPB vice-chairman Shubhashish Bose said that Taiwan is very crucial for Bangladesh as the two countries are major RMG product producers of the world.
EPB vice-chairman also informed that Taiwan exported garment products of US $31 billion last year while the country set a US $33 billion target for the next fiscal.
The Bangladesh garment manufacturing industry is maturing and growing beyond plain vanilla manufacturing services. While it is the world’s second largest apparel manufacturer with exports exceeding US$ 31 billion (2014-15), today, it is moving towards offering multiple garmenting solutions and going up the value chain.
