The Bangladesh Knit Expo-2007, an exhibition of the country’s knitwear products, will be held in Toronto on October 30-November 1.

Some 31 companies and members of the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association will showcase their various knitted items at the fair in Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Canada.

A seminar will be organised in Toronto, the capital of Canada, on October 30, said organisers.

A 64-member BKMEA team, led by its president Fazlul Hoque, will visit Canada to attend the exhibition.

In the fiscal year ended in June, 2006, Bangladesh exported knitwear items worth 20 million dollars grabbing 7.49 per cent of the 3 billion-dollar Canadian knitwear market.
