The Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) is scheduled to start on January 1, 2025, at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Purbachal, Dhaka.
The 29th edition of the DITF will be officially inaugurated by Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus. The event is being jointly organized by the Ministry of Commerce and its affiliated body, the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), reports The Daily Star.
EPB sources state that this year's fair is organised with the spirit of the July Movement in mind.
The EPB has constructed three pavilions named after the July Revolution. They believe this year's fair will attract more domestic and foreign visitors compared to previous years.
The event will feature 361 stalls and pavilions with exhibitors from Bangladesh and seven other countries. Eleven foreign businesses will showcase their goods and services.
EPB notes that entry fees remain unchanged at Tk 50 for adults and Tk 25 for children under 12.
The commerce ministry says that the 28th DITF brought in Tk 392 crore in export orders, which is a 17 percent rise compared to the previous year.
The EPB and participating commercial institutions have nearly completed preparations for DITF 2025. Last-minute work is underway to enhance the fair's appearance.
