You're most welcome Bhaisaab

I think we each have individual manufacturing strengths in our countries and should trade between ourselves first before going to product sources outside our countries.

Just my humble attempt to present the face of Bangladesh that everyone may not be aware of.

Is there a similar thread for non-traditional Indian products (like maybe optical lenses) ?

It is a great effort by you on this thread to consolidate the products from Bangladesh, This thread has been a revelation for me and hopefully many others too. I have always known about textile and apparel, but the Pharma, electronics, and furniture industry was a revelation to me. Also pretty nice motorcycles....
I am absolutely sure economic future of Bangladesh is bright. I am also very hopeful that Indo-Bangladesh and Sino-Bangladesh economic relations in the future will be bear great results for all three countries.

Agree on all counts.

Funny thing is - a lot of the companies have been sitting there quietly doing export business without much fanfare. Our news-media is not as active as that in India and is improving slowly. And some companies are content without a lot of undesired publicity. A lot of people in Bangladesh itself don't have a clue on what we make within the country.

Pharma has been on a very strong export curve since the early eighties because our fashionable president General Ershad had made all the multi-national Pharma companies either divulge their formulas or leave. So these exploiters (Eskayef, Pfizer et al) left. Bangladesh is now a net exporter of Pharma and veterinary drug items many times over (mostly generics) and have been following the footsteps (on a smaller scale) of larger companies in India like Ranbaxy. Unlike Ranbaxy - Bangladesh manufacturers have traditionally targeted semi-regulated markets in Asia and Africa, although almost all have GMP and FDA-approved facilities.

Shipbuilding of smaller scale ships (under 10,000 gross tonnes) have been quite brisk, as well as the burgeoning ceramics, athletic footwear, two-wheeler, electronics and home-electrics sectors. Bangladesh with its low-wage economy does very well in labor-intensive export sectors like this where its wages are several factors lower than even India/Pakistan.

With the removal of CVD and non-tariff barriers in the Indian market for products made in all countries in the subcontinent (not just Bangladesh) and improvement of road-infrastructure, I think overall intra-SAARC trade will see a boost in the coming years and hopefully increase mutual prosperity by removing the last vestiges of distrust from the subcontinent.

Bangladesh Mulls Investments in Shipbuilding

If the Bangladesh government shows more vision and ambition in helping remove constraints on local shipbuilders, investments will pour in, say industry observers.

The EU Ambassador in Dhaka has said that the European Union is looking to invest in the Bangladeshi shipbuilding industry. German shipping companies have also expressed interest in buying more vessels from Bangladeshi shipyards.
A report in Dhaka Tribune said that Bangladeshi entrepreneurs have invested in improving facilities and developing skills to enhance the nation’s capacity to build modern ships. The country needs such emerging manufacturing sectors to grow in order to help diversify and expand the economy.

The government must make more use of the levers it has available to encourage the nation’s shipbuilding industry. Supporting efforts to grow the land and anchorage area available for shipyards needs to part of this to help the sector make the most of its potential, the newspaper said.

Bangladesh is a land of rivers and thousands of locally- built ships ply its inland waters. At present, Bangladesh is looking for the market for small ocean-faring vessels less than 25,000 DWT.

The global market for the small ocean-faring vessels is now estimated to be $ 400 billion annually although some estimates place this figure at only $200 billion. Major shipyards of the world can meet75% of the total demand. If Bangladesh could achieve 4% market share of the surplus demand, which is $100 billion (25% of $ 400 billion), it could earn $4 billion annually.

Bangladesh has now over 200 shipbuilding companies, mostly concentrated in Dhaka, Chittagong, Narayanganj, Barisal and Khulna.

Another yard in Chittagong - TK Shipyard. Some recent new-builds being shown.

Karnafuly Shipyard routinely manufactures dredgers for local use - here are some cutter suction types. These are very critical for maintaining draft in shallow areas of river navigable channels and are used en masse by Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB).

Karnafuly Yard also makes sea-trucks for coastal intra-Island transport locally.

Like other Chittagong (CTG) Yards -- Karnafuly built 'Kandari' class sea-going tugs for the local port authority. These are rather large (300+ tonnes) tugs to position & maneuver large ships. Over ten have been commissioned at CTG port. 'Kandari' translates into 'helmsman' in Bengali.

Coastal Tug "Kandari 8" is an example of a 34.5m coastal tug design. This type of coastal tug is equipped with heavy duty towing gear located at the aft, and is designed to maximize thrust. Special design features of the tug include bollard pull, push, and the ability to go up against the high speed current present in estuaries for various operational reasons. The power can vary according to the intended service.

A composite video of the industrial activity within Bangladesh. It represents a good overall picture of the current industrial export offerings from Bangladesh.

High Speed Navigation's yard near South Dhaka has been quite busy with structural fabrication projects, they built several barge mounted power stations, here is one with 30MW X 2 Gas Turbine Generation capacity.

Here is another large-scale structural fabrication project for a fertilizer factory. The list goes on and on.
