Initiatives taken to diversify jute products: Commerce Adviser

Commerce and Textiles and Jute Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin has said that initiatives have been taken to diversify jute products with a view to resolving the problems surrounding the jute sector.

He came up with such remarks at the inauguration of the four-day multipurpose jute products fair organised jointly by the Department of Jute and the Jute Diversification Promotion Centre (JDPC) held at Laboni Point in Cox's Bazar sea beach on Tuesday.

The fair is being organised with the slogan “Come and change the country, change the world.” 

Bashir said the government has been organising diversified jute fairs at different places of the country while the month-long Dhaka International Trade Fair 2025 ended successfully a few days back. 
Being inspired from that, the fair on jute products is being organised in Cox's Bazar. 

The participants at the fair are happy and they are hoping for growth. The government is also making necessary arrangements for imparting them training.

Director (Administration) of the Department of Jute Satyakam Sen, Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Salahuddin and Superintendent of Police Muhammad Rahmat Ullah were present on the occasion.
Earlier, the adviser visited various stalls at the fair and talked to entrepreneurs about the potentials of jute products.
 
There are some 33 stalls at the multipurpose jute products fair while the fair will remain open from 4 pm to 8 pm every day until February 8.
