The month-long Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) is set to begin on January 1, 2025. 

Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus will officially inaugurate the 29th edition of the DITF, jointly organised by the Ministry of Commerce and its subordinate organisation, the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB). 

The fair will be held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Center in Dhaka's Purbachal.

The EPB and participating commercial institutions have nearly completed preparations for DITF 2025. Last-minute work is underway to enhance the fair's appearance.

EPB sources state that this year's fair is organised with the spirit of the July Movement in mind. 

The EPB has constructed three pavilions named after the July Revolution. They believe this year's fair will attract more domestic and foreign visitors compared to previous years.

The event will feature 361 stalls and pavilions with exhibitors from Bangladesh and seven other countries. Eleven foreign businesses will showcase their goods and services.

EPB notes that entry fees remain unchanged at Tk 50 for adults and Tk 25 for children under 12. 

The commerce ministry reports that the 28th DITF generated Tk 392 crore in export orders, a 17 percent increase over the previous year.
