Positioning Bangladesh as a trusted agro-trade partner.

2020 – 2025

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Bangladesh Trade Facilitation (BTF) project is expanding regional and international trade of agricultural goods and food products.  To do this, BTF is addressing systemic constraints at Bangladesh ports; simplifying and automating import and export processes; improving the capacity of government agencies, laboratories, and warehouses; and fostering private and public investment in cold storage and temperature-controlled logistics. The project promotes policy reform and provides technical, logistical, and technological assistance to Government of Bangladesh agencies and agricultural and food industry stakeholders. With the project’s support, Bangladesh aims to achieve the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement’s Category C measures. BTF also aims to reduce the cost of trade, decrease the release time for consignments, and increase transparency.
