A Correspondent :
Ceramic exporters are feeling the pinch as the exports fell to $37.69 million in 2015-16 against an export volume of $47 million two years ago.
According to Export Promotion Bureau data Bangladesh had exported ceramic products worth $47.58 million in fiscal 2013-14. The export fell mainly following decline in exchange rate, the poor pressure and supply of gas, and no incentives for export of the products according to exporters.
Local manufacturers and exporters of ceramic products are feeling the pinch after the US suspended a trade benefit for Bangladesh, industry people said. Bangladesh’s ceramics export in 2015-16 was less than that of nine years ago, although 40 out of the 60 ceramic factories in the country were set up in the last 10 years.
