FBCCI Administrator Mr. Md. Abdur Rahim Khan called on all associated chambers and associations, including businessmen to adopt a responsible approach in maintaining the commodity market stable.

The appeal was made during a discussion meeting with businessmen and stakeholders at the FBCCI's Motijheel office on 12 November 2025.

Mr. Khan emphasized in his address that market stability requires a coordinated effort involving the government, the private sector, and the media, asserting that the government cannot manage the commodity market unilaterally.

The session commenced with a comprehensive presentation on the domestic commodity market by the FBCCI Secretary General Mr. Md. Alamgir.

Traders stressed that maintaining a stable supply by mill owners is crucial for market calm ahead of Ramadan. Mill owners, despite favorable global sugar prices, raised concerns that recurrent winter gas supply disruptions could severely impede their production capabilities.

To ensure broader market normalization, business leaders proposed revisiting duties on specific commodities and suggested the government should actively participate in edible oil imports to bolster private sector efforts.

FBCCI Administrator Md. Abdur Rahim Khan assured the attendees that all valuable suggestions and opinions gathered from the meeting would be appropriately compiled and presented to the relevant authorities for their consideration.

The meeting concluded with the attendance of former FBCCI directors, leaders from various chambers and associations, representatives from several market committees, and representatives from government bodies, including the Ministry of Commerce, NBR, Trade and Tariff Commission.
