This report provides an incisive analysis of the structural challenges of the fiscal position of the government in form of taxation and tariffication, hindering the agro-mechanization sector in Bangladesh. The study explores a novel perspective of facilitating business within a competitive market–examining the intersection of taxation, trade policies, and sector-specific dynamics through the lens of both local challenges and global best practices. The dual reliance on imported machinery and constrained local manufacturing creates a structural imbalance because of the tariff non-neutrality arising in the market outcome that limits growth and business potential in Bangladesh.
