The trade relationship between Pakistan and Bangladesh has taken a major step forward, surpassing $1 billion for the first time. This growth comes after a shift in political leadership in Bangladesh, where Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has taken over. With fresh leadership and a focus on economic development, both nations are eager to strengthen their trade ties and create new opportunities for businesses and consumers.
Pakistan exports various products to Bangladesh, including cotton, rice, apparel, and mangoes. On the other hand, Bangladesh exports goods like pineapple, jute, and garments to Pakistan. A major milestone in this growing trade relationship is Pakistan’s first rice export to Bangladesh in nearly 20 years. This month, Pakistan successfully shipped 26,000 metric tons of rice to Bangladesh. This move is part of Bangladesh’s efforts to control rising rice prices and stabilize its local market.
