What BTF is Doing
BTF is developing a dedicated information hub for addressing the limited availability of information on agro-trade issues in the form of a dedicated Agro-Trade Gateway under the Bangladesh Trade Portal. The portal will include step-by-step procedures for export and import of agro-products, domestic regulations and requirements, market access, testing and compliance requirements, information on traders, international standards and regulations etc. The portal will bring all agro-trade-related information available to the stakeholders in one click.
The Customs Portal part will have step-by-step information on product product-specific goods clearance process. Documentary and other requirements for Customs clearance will be provided under the section.
BTF is also developing interactive agro-trade manuals on major products for traders.
