BD apparel makers eye big pie in Indian textile market

However, there would be deals leading up to higher purchases from India if we are to sell more.

So even if there are no barriers, it would still take a lot of time to reduce the trade deficit...if it ever happens.


Cheers!!!

Competetion is always good for businesss

What is relevant is will it help the consumers ?

So long as its cheaper the common man wouldnt care less if it comes from Timbuktu & the Indian companies need a wake up call. Clothes are expensive

Much of the cotton needed to make the garment products come from India and Pakistan. There had been some problems due to the floods in Pakistan, but now the supply issue has been resolved.

And yet, people still wonder why we have such a high trade deficit

The first step for Bangladesh to be self-sufficient is to reduce the population. Otherwise, problems and discontent will continue to grow.

Man we cant actually 'reduce' the population. At max, we can bring the birth rate under control which we have succeeded in recently.

Trade deficit is not only due to the same product but others that we do not produce. Like cars, heavy machinery and so on. Though our exports are growing, we are still import-dependent. And it will be so for quite sometime to come.

Heck last time i checked, we even had a trade deficit with Maldives!


Cheers!!!

There is no such thing as birth control in Bangladesh now. The last time we had was during the Ershad era.

Look at it this way, we are a small country with limited resources. The higher the population, the more mouths we have to feed. That means more land needed to feed the whole population, and that still isn't enough. Land is a precious asset that must be used wisely. I can say that the fertile land of Bangladesh can be used for many great things.

When my foreign friends hear about my country's population, they lose their minds. Seriously, I am not lying.

And then, there is the issue of climate change, which is falling on deaf ears in Bangladesh.

Population control and climate change are by far the greatest security challenges Bangladesh must address if it is to go forward on every aspect.

I understand your point of view and agree about the climate part. But being a natural process, there is hardly we can do anything about it other than making awareness.

But how would you 'reduce' the population if not control it, as you mentioned?

When I said 'reduce' population, I meant in the long term through family planning programs, one child policy, as well as giving incentives to their children such as education, basic necessities, etc. It is not that hard. It'd only requires planning, organizing, leading and controlling. It is all management. It is not expensive either. The long-term returns can be huge for the country.

Bearing more children is only making the lives of poor families harder, they just don't realize that.

It also puts a young innocent soul through the hardships of poverty, labor, and all sorts of shenanigans. I do feel bad for those children, believing they deserve much better so that they grow up to be adult humans, not turn into animals.

And sadly, the majority of the country is consisting of those 'animals'. That being said, much of the Bangladeshi voter base are intellectually bankrupt. Would you think the Beggar's League might bother? Unlikely Unless of of-course their Indian cahoots start raising voice It can also become India's problem if the population of Bangladesh goes unabated.

Judging by the size of Bangladesh I think working toward a population of around 30 million is optimal. But of-course, that'll take time. We must bring the population under control, otherwise, things won't improve on the side of human development index.

One of the way to reduce the trade deficit is through jute products, basically bales, shopping bags, takeaway bags etc.

Plastic bags are banned and hence in quite a few cities in India they are using think cloth bags for takeaways and shopping. Likewise, the use of plastic bales are reducing. Jute is a natural product and with today's technology, the finish can be quite attractive. In fact, the shirts out of jute fibre is now a fashion statement.

Jute is the product that will lead the way to cutting down the trade deficit.

While you are right that the population should be reduced, the one or no child policy adopted through State policy as in China or voluntarily as in Europe, has its own problems. Therefore, a scientific analysis of the same has to be done with an eye on the future manpower requirement to run the country.
