The EPB had set less export target for the cement industry at US$10.50m for FY19-20 in comparison to US$14m for the previous fiscal year, following a loss of cement export earnings to U$10.41m in FY18-19.
The country's total export earnings continued to decline as merchandise shipments witnessed a 4.79 % fall over the last eight months of current fiscal year of 2019-20. The aggregate export earnings during July to February of FY19-20 stood at US$26.24bn, against US$27.56bn earnings of the corresponding amount of last fiscal, in line with the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) data.
Cement is reportedly being exported by Bangladeshi cement producers to India, Myanmar, Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka.
