The first consignment of Bangladeshi mangoes will be exported to China on Wednesday marking a significant step in agricultural trade between the two countries.
Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin and Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Yao Wen will join an event marking this export at the CIP gate of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Wednesday afternoon.
Agriculture Secretary Md Emdad Ullah Mian said “Following Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus’s recent visit to China, the government has intensified efforts to export agricultural products, especially mangoes, to the Chinese market. A shipment of mangoes will be sent from Bangladesh to China this month,” he said.
The secretary added that the government has taken up a long-term plan to ensure the sustainability and timeliness of mango exports to China. “This initiative is part of a broader food security strategy aimed at ensuring safe and nutritious food for all by 2050,” he noted.
Meanwhile, Chinese Ambassador Yao recently said that the upcoming visit of the largest-ever business delegation from China, led by Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao, would send a “strong signal” of openness, cooperation, and mutual benefit.
