Over 98% of the people speak in Bangla. English, however, is widely spoken. The country is covered with a network of rivers and canals forming a maze of interconnecting channels. Being an active partner, Bangladesh plays vital role in the international and regional forum, particularly in the UN, Commonwealth and South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC).

Gross Domestic Product

For almost two decades, Bangladesh has experienced a solid economic growth. A gradual structural transformation is primarily stirring the agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) share, yet this trigger is also making an impact to the service sector and slightly to the industry sector.On one hand, there is a middle-class on the rise, and on the other hand, there is a working poor decline. This does not mean they are ahead of the rest of the South Asia region’s average. As they experience a weakness in both their environment of doing business and governance structures; in a similar stand, law enforcements have not been strengthen. As a result, Bangladesh faces a period of turmoil due to various trade union right violations.

In Bangladesh, we don’t have extreme temperature changes. We have six seasons: Summer, The Rainy season, Autumn, Late Autumn, Winter and The Spring. But we have over 8 different microclimates that combined with fertile grounds, provide the ideal conditions to grow, process, pack and export some of the best exotic fruits, vegetables and crops for the most demanding palates in the food industry. Our weather does not stop regular business operations. We never stop working because of blizzards or heat waves. We’re even rarely heavily affected by tropical storms in the Caribbean.

A treasure of biodiversity

Bangladesh encompasses only 0.03% of the world’s surface, but is the home of 5% of Earth’s biodiversity. The country has many different kinds of forests, from the dry ones in the southern pacific to the famous rain forests, making it a breathing live lab.
