FBCCI Holds Meeting on Commodity Prices and Supply Chain in Dhaka
Representatives from retail, wholesale, and corporate importing sectors gathered at the FBCCI office. The meeting focused on maintaining stable prices through a normal supply chain.
On Tuesday, September 1, 2026, a crucial consultative meeting regarding essential commodity prices and the overall supply chain was held at the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) office located in Motijheel, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The high-level discussion brought together key industry stakeholders, including representatives from retail and wholesale businesses, as well as corporate entities involved in the importation of daily essential commodities. During the proceedings, these industry representatives shared their collective assessment that there is fundamentally no opportunity or justification for the prices of essential goods to increase within the country as long as the supply chain remains entirely normal and uninterrupted.
The meeting was presided over by Md. Fazlul Haque, who serves as the administrator of the FBCCI. His leadership guided the discussions among the various participants, which also included prominent figures such as Golam Mawla, Saifur Rahman Sujan, Md. Zakir Hossain, Md. Abul Kalam Azad, and Md. Alamgir.
Discussions during the session further encompassed the operational roles of numerous organizations and government bodies. The entities connected to the dialogue landscape included the Moulvibazar Byabosayee Samity, Karwan Bazar Kachamal Arhat Byabosayee Malik Samity, Bangladesh Supermarket Owners Association, and the Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB), alongside the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) and the Directorate of Food.
Additionally, regulatory and administrative bodies played a contextual role in the broader discussions, referencing the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industries, Ministry of Food, Bangladesh Trade and Tariff Commission, Bangladesh Competition Commission, Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection, and the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority.
Highlighting ongoing welfare measures during the deliberations, it was noted that the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) has continuously been selling essential commodities at subsidized and reduced prices to approximately 10 million families throughout the country utilizing the TCB family card system.
