Anwar Hossain Chowdhury, managing director of the SME Foundation, said the fair was designed to bring together the rich heritage, culture, and festive spirit of Bengal, offering visitors a unique experience while making the celebration of the Bangla New Year more vibrant.
More than 150 stalls are participating in the fair, where SME entrepreneurs are showcasing and selling a wide range of products, including handicrafts, jute goods, ready-made garments and fashion accessories, agro-processed items, traditional and heritage products, prepared foods and street food, jewellery, leather goods, as well as perfumes and lifestyle products.
Commerce, Industries, Textiles and Jute Minister Khandakar Abdul Muktadir has said the SME and MSME sectors together make up the backbone of the national economy.
He emphasised that a significant portion of Bangladesh’s economy operates within the informal sector, where SMEs play a vital role.
