Preferential Market Access in the Canadian Market
Maximising Benefits for Bangladesh
The study explored the Canadian initiative that granted duty-free and quota-free market access facility for the LDCs, under the LDC-friendly rules of origin (at 25 per cent local value addition), identified opportunities for Bangladeshi products in the Canadian market, and highlighted the challenges faced by Bangladeshi exporters in diversifying their export baskets in the Canadian market. The study came up with a number of concrete suggestions which could be helpful in terms of strengthening Bangladesh’s market presence in Canada, and also in diversifying her exports to the Canadian market.
