BGMEA President Faruque Hassan recently advocated for duty-free access for garments made from US-imported cotton, foreseeing a boost in trade relations and a win-win scenario benefiting Bangladeshi exporters and US cotton stakeholders.
Emphasising Bangladesh’s significant role as the world’s second-largest cotton-importing nation, Hassan highlighted the strategic importance of such collaborations for mutual economic growth.
Speaking at an event organized by Cotton USA in Dhaka, he expressed optimism about closer cooperation fostering increased trade benefits between Bangladesh and the United States, particularly in the promising cotton sector.
The event, held in observance of Cotton Day, featured addresses from various key figures, including Peter D. Haas, the US Ambassador to Bangladesh, and representatives from Cotton Council International and the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association.
