Local ceramics maker rides out global recession
A local ceramics maker, in a span of less than two and a half years, has touched a credit mark of fetching around Tk 31crore from porcelain tableware exports in the immediate past fiscal year (2008-09), riding out the ongoing global recession. FARR Ceramics Ltd, which has now a 10 percent market share in the Tk 300 crore exports of ceramics, went into commercial production in February 2007, exported nearly Tk 20 crore in FY 2007-08.
Despite a tremendous growth rate, Iftakher Uddin Farhad, the company's chairman and managing director, believes Bangladesh has more scope than what it now exports.
“I am going to double my factory's capacity soon to meet the growing export demand,” he said. “Quality and competitive price have helped us boost our exports."
Bangladesh's competitiveness enhances day by day. Farhad said rising energy and labour costs in competitor countries might turn Bangladesh into a global hub of ceramics tableware after China.
Ceramics and tiles are an emerging industry in Bangladesh. Some Tk 2,000 crore has been invested in the sector, both from home and abroad. Ceramics's local market size was Tk 700 crore in FY 2008-09.
Bangladesh's export earnings from ceramics reached $33 million last fiscal from a meagre amount of $1 million in 1991. Besides FARR, other major exporting companies are Shinepukur, Monno and Artisan Ceramics.
However, many local manufacturers and exporters could not remain immune from global crisis fallout, as exports have marked a decline.
During July-March in FY2008-09, ceramics exports declined to $25.60 million from $28.43 million in the same period a year earlier.
FARR is among the few companies that are showing resilience in the international export market. The company exports to Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Turkey and India.
“India is growingly becoming an important export destination for our tableware. We export on an average $70,000 ceramics to the neighbouring country a month,” Farhad pointed out.
FARR Euro Fine Porcelain, FARR Fine Ivory and FAAR High Alumina Porcelain are some of the company brands. Renowned five star hotels in India such as Marriott, Taj, Grand and Ramada use FARR ceramics tableware, the company's MD claimed.
Higher energy and labour costs in China and Sri Lanka, the two major competitors, have paved the way for the company to cement its foothold in the global export market, Farhad said, lamenting government's lax attitude towards the industry.
“Turkey is becoming a major importer of Bangladeshi ceramics, but the country requires a health certificate, which our testing institution BSTI is not giving to us,” Farhad said.
He said China gives 22.5 percent incentives to its ceramics exporters, but Bangladesh gives nothing.

No computers in poor Bangladeshi households
By: Kazi Azizul Islam
Poor people in Bangladesh own more mobile phones than the same group in India and Pakistan, more televisions than the Indian poor, but availability of computers in the poor Bangladeshi households is almost zero, according to a recent study. The survey by LIRNEasia, a Sri Lanka-based Asia-Pacific information and communication technology policy and regulation capacity-building organisation, also reveals comparative reluctance among the poor Bangladeshis to buy radios.
Experts, however, say lack of individual access to computers among the poor can effectively be offset if the government arranges community access to computers after making the people aware that many solutions to their problems can be found in computers. The LIRNEasia’s study found that, on an average, there is no computer in every 100 ‘bottom of the pyramid’ household in Bangladesh, while four of every hundred poor households in Sri Lanka, three in Pakistan and at least one in India own computers.
According to the study, the number of phones, especially mobile phones, being used by poor households in Bangladesh is 41, while it is 38 in India, 39 in Pakistan and 64 in Sri Lanka.
Some 52 households out of hundred in Bangladesh own television sets compared to 50in India, 68 in Pakistan and 80 in Sri Lanka, according to the study. The organization also studied the prevalence of radios in poor South Asian households and found that only 13 in every hundred poor household in Bangladesh own radios, while radios are used by 28 households in India, 24 in Pakistan and 77 in Sri Lanka.
The LIRNEasia researchers asked the poor South Asian mobile phone users whether they had used it at least once a day for business or livelihood purposes, and the highest response came from Bangladeshis.M Faizullah Khan, president of the Bangladesh Computer Samity, disagrees with the notion that the Bangladeshi poor can in no way afford computers while the Indians and Pakistanis can.
Contradicting the country’s much trumpeted success in mass education, Khan said, ‘Effective literacy had not been ensured for the poor people.’He said that lack of Bangla-based computer operation systems and software also make computers difficult and less useful to poor Bangladeshis whose knowledge of the English language is next to nothing.
‘In spite of the zero duty on computer in Bangladesh, its use is lowest in South Asia,’ said a leader of the local vendors of computer hardware. Economist Ananya Raihan said that if the per capita income ratio is considered, the cost of computers is high, at least for the poor, in Bangladesh.
He, however, said that individual access to computers cannot contribute significantly to the social and economic uplifting of the poor people in a developing country like Bangladesh. For making ICT services effective to poor people, community access to computers is essential, said Raihan, who is an executive director of D.Net (Development Research Network) that works for development of the ICT network throughout Bangladesh.
‘Community computer centres in villages can serve poor people adequately,’ said Raihan.’ But people will go there only when useful solutions to their problems are there.’
'Countrywide community ICT centres are essential for materialising the dream of Digital Bangladesh,’ said Raihan. Source: New Age, July 7, 2009 Continue reading the rest...

Bangladesh struggles to tame violent militants
Violent militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan get more attention, but militant groups also challenge South Asia's other Muslim nation, Bangladesh, worrying neighbours and countries with Bangladeshi workers or immigrants. Militants in the low-lying nation of some 150 million people threaten its young democratic government's efforts to achieve stability, and raise fears the groups will connect with and strengthen extremist international networks.
The violent Islamists' presence also discourages much needed aid and investment. Nearby India has expressed its concern, and last weekend Britain's security minister Lord West visited Dhaka to strengthen bilateral efforts on the issue.
"The governments must cooperate with each other against terrorism as the terrorists of different countries are gaining strength through mutual assistance," he told reporters.
Harkatul Jihad Islami (HUJI) Bangladesh, one of more than a dozen outlawed Islamist groups seeking to turn Bangladesh into a sharia-based Islamic state, was blamed for attempting to kill then British High Commissioner Anwar Choudhury in May 2005.
Police also linked Huji to a 2004 attempt to kill Sheikh Hasina, then the opposition leader. She narrowly escaped but 23 others died when grenades exploded at a rally she was addressing.
Authorities say another group, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), was behind deadly bombings in late 2005. Victims included judges, lawyers, police and others.
After what was criticised as initial neglect of the issue, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) government arrested six JMB leaders in 2006. They were executed in March 2007 by an army-backed interim authority that had taken over power.
During interrogation the six said they were trained outside the country and fought alongside Islamic forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and in the Palestinian territories.
MILITANTS REGROUPING
Attacks declined after the executions but did not stop, and officials and analysts say the militants are regrouping.
"There is no denying that the militants are a big threat to Bangladesh," said Abul Barakat, economics professor at Dhaka University and a political analyst, who has studied the movement.
He told Reuters that Islamists had expanded under patronage of the country's biggest religion-based party, Jamaat-e-Islami (Jamaat), which has developed a banking and business network, and through funds received from Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia.
As happened in countries like Pakistan, some in Bangladesh's establishment thought they could use militant groups to their advantage, only to have them later turn against the government.
For example, the 2001-2006 coalition government of the BNP and Jamaat was accused of using a JMB faction to confront the Sarbahara, a troublemaking group in the northwest.
Jamaat and the BNP deny aiding violent militants. BNP senior leader Nazrul islam Khan says such militancy "is not just a problem of Bangladesh, it exists worldwide".
Suranjit Sengupta, a top lawyer and Awami League leader, says the Islamists are a growing threat to democracy and development.
"They thrived in Bangladesh during the BNP-Jamaat rule. Now the time has come to track them down and root them out forever," he told Reuters.
A government led by Hasina and the Awami League took office in January and vowed to get tough with the militants. Security forces have since raided alleged militant hideouts, seizing arms and bombmaking material and arresting dozens.
"We are pledge-bound to the nation to make sure that none of them escape justice," said state minister for law Oamrul Islam.
CHANGED TACTICS
Intelligence officials say the Islamists lately have changed tactics, as did a JMB operative who talked to a Reuters contact in the northwest on condition of anonymity.
"Now we are recruiting a large number of women and giving them training in use of weapons, carrying explosives, hitting targets and spreading our message that no rule or laws except those of Allah will exist or be tolerated," the operative said.
He said male and female members were encouraged to marry one another "to integrate them more to our work and prevent information leaks".
Militants are now better equipped, getting explosives and weapons regularly from outside the country, the operative said without detailing the nations involved.
The group wants to refine its attacks, he added, making less use of grenades and bombs which kill indiscriminately and more of guns aimed at specific targets. "That would save lives of the people who are not our enemies," he said.
Whether security force efforts will be enough to crush the militants remains to be seen.
Bangladesh has social issues that can make people receptive to anti-government messages and promises of an Islamic utopia. For example, nearly half the population is illiterate and a similar number live in poverty.
Bangladesh politics have meanwhile been characterised by weak civilian governments, with out-of-power parties all too ready to take to the streets, and the military stepping in to bring order at the price of clamping down on civil liberties.
"Both confrontational politics and socio-economic conditions are responsible for the rise and spread of militancy," said Asif Nazrul, professor of law at Dhaka University.
In a chicken and egg relationship, the other issues distract authorities from effectively tackling militancy, while militant violence is one reason Bangladesh has trouble getting investment and aid to help mitigate poverty and dry up militant support.

$52 mln Chevron investment plan Approved
Bangladesh's state-run oil and gas authority said on Thursday it had approved a plan by U.S. energy firm Chevron to invest $52 million to augment natural gas supply in the country. "We have okayed the Chevron investment to install a gas compressor to ease the gas crisis in our country," said Muqtadir Ali, chairman of the Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation or Petrobangla.
"Chevron will require two years to install the compressor in block 15 under the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) and will recover the cost from gas sales," he told Reuters. "It will supply up to 60 million cubic feet (mmcf) of gas a day."
On recovery of cost, the compressor will be handed over to the Gas Transmission Company Ltd (GTCL), a subsidiary of the Petrobangla.
The firm (Chevron), which alone supplies almost 40 percent of total gas consumed in the country, will sign a partnership contract with the GTCL. Bangladesh now suffers a daily gas shortage of up to 250 mmcf that forced at least 300 manufacturing firms in southern Chittagong areas to halt their operations, officials said.

GSP Review at USTR will continue
The GSP Review Process at the US Trade Representative (USTR) on workers rights in Bangladesh will continue for another year. This was informed by the USTR after one more year of review of the same. However the USTR has informed that during this period Bangladesh will continue to enjoy GSP facilities from the United States.
It may be mentioned that following a petition in 2007 by the AFL-CIO on the violation of worker rights in EPZs, Garment and Shrimp Sector, USTR put Bangladesh under review. Last Hearing on this subject was held in Washington, DC on 24 April 2009 in which Secretary, Ministry of Commerce, on behalf of Bangladesh delegation informed the USTR about the steps already undertaken to improve the workers rights in various sectors in Bangladesh. He also promised that Bangladesh Government would work with relevant sectors of economy to improve the workers rights situation in Bangladesh.
It may be noted that USTR duly acknowledged the return of a democratic government in Bangladesh and some progress made in worker relations in EPZs, they continued to urge Bangladesh to make more progress in the worker relationship in the garment and shrimp sectors. It is expected that visible and verifiable progress in these sectors may help Bangladesh to get duty free access in the USA. Source: Press Release, Bangladesh Embassy, Washington, DC.

Bangladesh-U.S. Bilateral Talks In September
Bangladesh and the United States are set to hold their first official meeting in September to discuss the entire range of issues between the two countries. Foreign Minister of Bangladesh Dipu Moni told reporters on Wednesday about her meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, referring to her telephone conversation with Clinton who had called Moni Tuesday evening.
Clinton will lead the U.S. side at the talks, which will be held either in New York, NY or Washington, D.C. around the time of the United Nations General Assembly. "It's not going to be a sideline meeting of the U.N. General Assembly -- it will be a full-fledged bilateral meeting," Moni said in reply to a query. She also said agenda of the talks will now be prepared.
Before the meeting in September, the Bangladesh foreign minister expects to meet with Clinton at the ASEAN Regional Forum meeting toward the end of July.
During the conversation, Clinton reportedly recalled her last meeting with Moni in The Hague during the International Conference on Afghanistan and hoped to meet with her in the forthcoming 16th ASEAN Regional Forum Ministerial Meeting this month.
The U.S. Secretary of State termed South Asia as the region of opportunity and expressed her keen interest to foster greater cooperation with this region. Source: AHN Continue reading the rest...
