Dhaka, July 25 -- DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed on Saturday said developing a comprehensive roadmap to strengthen the country's chemical backward linkage industry is "no longer optional but a strategic necessity" to safeguard the future of Bangladesh's export sector.

"The export competitiveness of Bangladesh's RMG, textiles, leather and pharmaceutical industries depends significantly on a competitive supply chain of chemical products," Taskeen said at a seminar on 'Backward Linkage Development of the Chemical-Dependent Key Export-Oriented Industries: Current State and Issues,' organised by the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (DCCI) at its auditorium.
