Govt has surrendered to India: BNP

[Hulk]

Well taking practical steps and building good relationship with India is surrender only because we have majority of Hindus, which some bigots do not like.

 

[Roybot]

for example the BNP government used to charge tariff duty on indian cotton, BAL removed it thus our garments sector is importing it from India, thus our spinning sector has really taken an epic hit.

You are so full of shyte.

Bangladesh's annual cotton yarn production has being going up every year. So much for "taking a hit".

And the domestic production is not quite able to keep up with the consumption, so Bangladesh needs to import cotton yarn from other countries to cover the shortfall. Most of the imports come from India because its the second cheapest option available(1st is domestic production) for Bangladesh importers.

Now stop spreading your lies. You guys are obsessed with India, I mean if you were some uneducated rickshaw puller then I would get it, but you lots are educated, do your research, don't just believe every darn piece of shytty propaganda that comes floating your way.

'Figure can lie and lair can figure out' was the first line of my 'Quantitative Method' course. So, it doesn't matter on how you make up your statistics than how a grass-root dealer explains its scenarios, compriente?

I didn't make up the figures. You don't just make up statistics out of thin air

The downfall has been over the past couple of years mainly in the local sector since our garments sector simply imports it from India; due to the cotton shortages in the beginning of 2011 our mills stored a lot, now there is a big supply and vert little demand thus the price has fallen to 98 cents, which resulted in around 60-80% of our mills are shut down. Stop posting old stats. During BNP the govt used to charge indian yarn tariff, now it doesnt, now in this crisis the spinning sector should have some backing from the government but BAL government works on the agenda of their masters in Delhi. People should realise that the reason India sticks it's nose in Bangladeshi matter is because they see Bangladesh as a potential consumer base of 160 million. All politics is based on the reason of business, if its not profitable its not worth it. Companies like Airtel are already in Bangladesh through bribery, Joy was paid handsomely. Did you guys know that Airtel has the largest network service in Bangladesh? it would take a little bit more to get it run more smoothly. India is also dumping its world war 2 era shitmobil ambassador in Bangladesh aswell. India's ultimate goal is to milk Bangladesh which they are already doing, its all about the money at the end of the day.

stop making everything about religion, thats all you Indians and Pakistans think about, it has nothing to do with religion. Its about India trying to sabotage Bangladesh. Even if the Ummah was our neighbor, we would have revolted about inequality and injustice.

Sadly BRO,

They can because of their Geo-Proximity, gross disproportion of power in their favor and they have the back of only unipolar world. You need to grasp the concept Leo Strauss's comments on rich and powerful. It's science that works but immoral at its core. On a related note, Shere Bangla, Shoharowardy, Abul Mansoor Ahmed had sensed it and rightly opted to join in PAK's federation to create some sorts of equilibrium but alas! We fell in chanakya's chalbagi of pursuit on ethnic nationalism. . They were much more educated and wiser than the current lot of AWAMY dalals.

I doubt that!! At present, the worst that can be done against a nation is an economic blockade and that too can be imposed only by US!! Even Bhutan is enjoying almost an independent foreign policies which was controlled by India in the past!! A question on the sovereignty of a nation can be raised only on the landlocked countries, and possible that's why Sikkim joined India!! Bangladesh was never in that threat, so noway of fearing a threat like this by Shere Bangla, Shoharowardy, Abul Mansoor Ahmed!! We could be much developed or could be even a nuke power if had created a separate nation that time!!

Firstly the data is not outdata. Its the latest available. Also the yarn produced in India and China is cheaper than the Bangladeshi ones. Which is why garment factories in Bangladesh continue importing it from these countries. On top of that Bangladesh doesn't have enough infrastructure in place to meet the growing demand for cotton yarn and fabric. Which is why importing it from countries like India and China is a must RMG sector of Bangladesh. Its no rocket science.

Bangladesh fabrics from China and yarn from India.

Spinning and weaving mills constructed in recent years are capable of supplying quality yarns and fabrics, however prices are typically 12-15 percent higher than similar products sourced from China or India. Locally produced fabrics also benefit from the duty drawback provision provided to the export oriented RMG sector.

Yarn imports in CY 2010 are estimated to increase to 220,000 tons from 210,000 tons in CY 2009 due to increased demand from the RMG sector. Yarn imports in CY 2011 are forecast to decrease to 200,000 tons due to increasing domestic yarn production. India continues to be the principal supplier of yarn to Bangladesh with about 75 percent of the market share.Fabric imports in CY 2011 are forecast at 2.30 billion meters, slightly higher than the estimated 2.26 billion meters in CY 2010 on continued strong RMG demand for the export market. China continues to be the principal supplier of imported fabrics, with a share of around 74 percent due to its price advantage in quality categories.

So you are misinformed that the local industry is "taking a hit" and that too because of India.

 

[void_0in]

Fact is our spinning sector creates more money, more jobs than our local weavers and also brings more foreign currency. It was mainly a doing of India pressuring Haseena. My family owns one of the largest textile and one of the biggest spinning mills in Bangladesh, trust me, i know the reality better than you.

so till now you are about to join canadian army,Your family owns one of the largest textile and one of the biggest spinning mills in Bangladesh,You have your house next to Abdul Mubeen in dhaka and you want to spit on his face and you ll be the first to have first flight for BD and fight against Indian Army.This is what i learnt about you in one day..What's next kiddo ?

Yes our spinning is in direct competetion with INDIA, as i have said earlier during BNP'S time we had a tariff on India's yarn, now that tariff has been lifted, thus our spinning sector has been hit since its 12-15% more expensive. Since the AL government , we have been exporting our yarn mostly instead of supplying it locally because BAL government has killed the Bangladeshi market for it's spinners. Stop posting quotes from other places for the sake of putting quotes.

Now it proves that you are the son of the biggest spinning mill in BD!!!!! Stop bullcraping.
99% of our yarns are imported through bonded warehouse with zero duty for reexport. Its been the case all along. In couple of years of BNP time, land based import through benapole was restricted. It was even for a short period of time and are on and off.

Besides govt is in constant negotiation with India for uninterrupted cotton supply from India and as far as I could remember, India agreed to some quota for Bangladesh and guaranteed export which will help our spinner a lot. Also government made arrangment with Uzbekistan to directly purchase cotton from them who supplies 45% of our cotton who used to supply through 3rd country like Dubai. Government also in negotiation with African cotton directly shipped to Bangladesh. Not only that, they are in process of building warehouse in BD for African farmer.

After doing so many things for spinners, if you still believe that Indian yarn are killing you than go to helll. We dont need 3rd class spinner who cant take compettition.

If you were in power and two competing business interest lobby you which one you will go for. One who says spinning industry should be protected(without supply of domestic cotton) or value added RMG which will fetch higher price and possibly compete with china if you can make it massively big.

Are you sure your spinning industry is sufficient to support the RMG and not shackle it?
Dont go by personal loss, imagine you did not have any factory in your family.

I donno brah thats how usually people discuss any issue. You back your claims with sources, and the source is very unbiased and very reliable, United States Government document!

Coming to the tariff part, tariff was removed as part of SAFTA agreement. Even if BNP/Khaleda was in power she would have to get rid of the tariff. So no point blaming Hasina/AL for this at least.

The SAFTA agreement came into force on 1 January 2006 and is operational following the ratification of the agreement by the seven governments. SAFTA requires the developing countries in South Asia (India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) to bring their duties down to 20 percent in the first phase of the two year period ending in 2007. In the final five year phase ending 2012, the 20 percent duty will be reduced to zero in a series of annual cuts. The least developed nations in South Asia (Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Maldives) have an additional three years to reduce tariffs to zero. India and Pakistan ratified the treaty in 2009, whereas Afghanistan as the 8th memberstate of the SAARC ratified the SAFTA protocol on the 4th of May 2011.[1
