A four-day exposition on yarn, fabric, denim, dyes and chemicals will open on January 31, in Dhaka’s International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB). It is expected to create greater interaction among local and international stakeholders. Conference and Exhibitions Management Services (CEMS) Global CEMS Global in association with China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT TEX) is organising the trade show called ’13th Dhaka International Yarn and Fabric Show (DIFS)-2018 – Winter Edition’.
Two other exhibitions the ‘2nd Dhaka Denim Show 2018 Winter Edition International Expo’ and the ’30th Dye+Chem Bangladesh 2018-Winter Edition’ will also take place simultaneously. President and Group MD of CEMS Global, USA and Asia Pacific Meherun N Islam said the readymade garment (RMG) industry is the key driving force of the country’s economy with over 80 per cent contribution to export income. Bangladesh is currently the second-largest apparel exporter, after China, she said adding that the country has the ability to overtake China for various reasons including reasonable production cost. “Chinese entrepreneurs are looking for joint venture scope in other countries including Bangladesh as production cost is getting higher there,” she noted.
DIFS-2018 is expected to help Bangladeshi entrepreneurs expand business opportunities, she averred. A total of 350 organisations from 21 countries including Bangladesh, China, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, India, Taiwan and Vietnam will participate in the trade shows. They will display various types of products and services including yarn, denim, knitted fabrics, fleece, artificial leather, buttons and zippers.
