The curtain of the trade fair is coming down today

The curtain of the trade fair is coming down on Monday. The 26th edition of the fair was held at the permanent pavilion just 13 km away from Kuril of the capital.

At the end of other times, the traders talked about extending the deadline, but this time due to Corona, there is no such opportunity. And so the trade fair ends on Monday itself

Although the traders applied to extend the time of the fair, but the organizing company is going to end the fair at the scheduled time.

Exports of the organization

• AHM Ahsan, vice chairman of the organizing organization's Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), said that the attendance of visitors to the fair was more than the previous time. I can say that there has been more arrival than expected. At the beginning of the fair, the crowd was less, but towards the end, the pressure of visitors was very high. A lot of buyers and visitors have come to the fair especially during the last week of holidays.
  Trade fair director and Export Development Bureau (EPB) secretary Iftekhar Ahmed said that the organizers and traders are happy with the trade fair organized in a new area at a new place. However, traders applied for extending the fair another time, but this time due to the increase in the rate of corona infection, they did not apply. As a result, the trade fair ends on time. We also want the fair time not to increase. But the fair ends successfully.

Due to the corona situation, the number of visitors to the fair was low, so the target for ticket sales was not met. This was stated by Abid Hasan Hriday, the responsible officer of Mir Brothers, the lessee of the fair. He said that the money spent on the lease has not come up.

There were a total of 225 local and foreign stalls and pavilions at the trade fair held from January 1 at the Bangabandhu Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Purbachal. Among them there were 6 foreign stalls and 4 mini pavilions. The rest are desi stalls.
