Bangladesh will continue to meet its export demands “at any cost” even as the BNP-led alliance persists with its violent blockade, Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed says.
“We won’t allow anything to harm exports,” he told Parliament on Tuesday.
Arson attacks on carriers have disrupted transportation of goods on highways since Jan 5, pushing up shipment cost, despite BGB and police patrol.
Businesses claim the economy has sustained a Tk 750 billion loss in this period. They have demanded outlawing violent political agitations.
Bangladesh is world’s second largest exporter of readymade garment products after China.
“We’ll certainly meet our $ 27 billion export target,” Tofail said, replying to a question.
“Export has been hit and transport cost has risen but the supply is continued,” he said. “We’ve kept the supply chain uninterrupted.”
