DCCI urges Iran to import more Bangladeshi goods

Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) President Rizwan Rahman today urged Iranian businesses to import more garments, jute goods, light engineering products and others from Bangladesh.

He made the call at a bilateral meeting with Mansour Chavoshi, Iran's ambassador to Bangladesh, at DCCI Gulshan Centre, the chamber said in a press release.

According to Rahman, the other products are leather goods, tea, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, processed agricultural products and electronics.

He also urged for exploring possibilities of launching direct shipping services between the Chattogram or Mongla port and Iran's Chabahar Port.

The bilateral trade volume is not satisfactory but there is a huge scope for enhancing it through different potential sectors, said Chavoshi, adding that both countries could work together in the agriculture sector.
