A Bangladesh Ministry of Agriculture delegation sponsored by the Cotton Council International (CCI) is visiting the United States from October 30 through November. On 5, 2022, with the unrelenting efforts of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) office of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) in Dhaka, the government of Bangladesh has finally been persuaded to relax its nearly five-decade-long fumigation requirement on US cotton imports. took.
The change would remove a significant export barrier for US cotton to Bangladesh, as well as save Bangladeshi mills time and money as they turn to the U.S. to meet their cotton fiber import needs. Bangladeshi mills are paying more than a million dollars annually to cover unnecessary fumigation costs imposed on cotton imported from the US.
U.S. exporters will continue to use APHIS-generated phytosanitary certificates, but under the new regulation the certificate will contain additional language confirming that U.S. There are no live boll weevils in belted cotton. APHIS will issue revised instructions to exporters.
Bangladesh's agriculture and commerce ministries decided to lift the fumigation requirements after six delegation members from Bangladesh's agriculture ministry coordinated with the National Cotton Council (NCC) to attend a CCI-sponsored U.S. Cotton took part in the tour. The delegation learned why American cotton bales do not harbor live boll weevils, including a review of the US cotton industry's successful boll weevil eradication program and its modern cotton harvesting and standardized ginning techniques.
Bangladesh currently ranks as the No. 2 global importer of cotton, according to USDA FAS' global market analysis in May 2023. Although there is some domestic cotton production in Bangladesh, it accounts for 1% or less of the total demand.
Bangladesh was a top 10 export market for US cotton in 2022, with an export value of $477.07 million (https://www.fas.usda.gov/regions/bangladesh).
