Apparel Sourcing Paris is a major clothing sourcing platform for the European market. The wide range of products for men, women, children, and accessories includes the entire price spectrum. Talking to BSS, EPB Deputy Director Abu Mukhles Alamgir Hossain said within the European Union, France is a major economic partner of Bangladesh.

“Both countries have developed strong economic cooperation and are enjoying warm business relationships.  In fact, readymade garment is the major Bangladeshi product for export earnings from France. Export of other products, such as leather and footwear, shrimps and frozen fish, ceramic and pharmaceutical articles have also recently increased,” he added.

He informed that Bangladesh aims to widen French investors portfolios, advise French businessmen, secure market access and try to diversify its export baskets. He said Bangladeshi producers are participating in many renowned international fairs in France to promote their products.

As per EPB, Bangladesh’s export to France was US$221.76 crore in the fiscal 2018-19.
