Why did exports fall first time in 13 months?

Business Desk :
Last month, Bangladesh’s export earnings fell to a 13-month low of $3.9 billion. Why?
Experts say the slide came not for any internal failure of the country. Rather the Ukraine war and the double-digit inflation in the eurozone are the culprits here.
European Union’s 27 countries are the largest trade bloc for Bangladesh’s garment products, from where the south Asian nation earns most of its foreign currency.
The supply chain disruption caused by the Ukraine war fuelled electricity and natural gas prices in the EU, which eventually caused the 19-member states of the Eurozone-a part of the EU-to be hit by a record 10 per cent inflation in September.
