22 Bangladeshi companies participate in Global Sourcing Expo in Sydney

The three-day Global Sourcing Expo Sydney 2023 began at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia, on Tuesday.

Some 22 companies from Bangladesh in the fields of apparel, textile, jute, home decor, and gifts are participating in the event under the initiatives of the Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra, reports UNB.

Among them, eight exhibitors in readymade garments are funded by the Export Promotion Bureau of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh High Commissioner to Australia M Allama Siddiki and Chief Executive of the organising firm Marie Kinsella inaugurated the exhibition of Bangladeshi products at the Expo.

The Consul General of Bangladesh in Sydney, Commercial Counsellor and other officers of the High Commission were present.

Australia's global sourcing trade show is held twice a year with expos in Sydney and Melbourne. It brings together more than 350 manufacturers and suppliers from around the world.

This international trade show provides a platform for businesses to showcase their products, explore new markets, and establish valuable connections.

The expo provides enhanced opportunities for global exporters, manufacturers, and producers to reach their targeted trade-buying audience.

The ready-made garment (RMG) accounts for about 93 per cent of total exports to Australia. Bangladesh is the 32nd largest trade partner of Australia.
