Bangladesh’s export income fell by 6.25 per cent in September after a positive growth during the last 13 months, according to official figures, reports UNB.
The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) released updated statistics on export earnings on Sunday.
It said exports of agricultural products, frozen food, handicrafts, bicycles, and furniture decreased in the first three months of the current fiscal year.
Bangladesh exported goods worth $3.9 billion last month (September), which is 6.25 per cent less than the same period last year, the EPB data revealed.
However, overall the exports in the first three months of the current financial year 2022-23 are in a positive trend and saw a growth of 13.38 per cent.
During this period, products worth $12.49 billion were exported in the first three months of current fiscal year that was worth $11.02 billion.
Overall exports declined last month mainly due to a decline in apparel exports. The export of readymade garments was worth $3.16 billion in the previous month, which is 7.52 percent lower than in September last year. Exporting of both woven and knit garments declined last month.
