National Logistics Policy: A Gateway to Transform Bangladesh's Logistics Sector

Bangladesh’s logistics industry stands at a crossroads, poised for a transformation that could redefine its role in global trade. The National Logistics Policy (NLP) 2024, introduced by the government, is designed to address inefficiencies, lower costs, and modernize infrastructure to support the country's ambitious economic goals for 2025 and beyond. Bombino Express, as a leader in logistics, is committed to supporting these transformative changes, ensuring that businesses thrive in an increasingly competitive global market.

Why the National Logistics Policy Matters in 2025

Bangladesh has set ambitious targets to achieve upper-middle-income status by 2030 and high-income status by 2041. To realize this vision, the nation must overcome several challenges:

Post-LDC Transition: {" "} With the loss of duty-free trade benefits in major markets like the EU, export costs are projected to rise by 8.16%.
High Logistics Costs: {" "} Logistics expenses in Bangladesh range from 4.5% to 48%, much higher than regional competitors.
Global Trade Disruptions:{" "} {" "} Geopolitical tensions and supply chain shifts necessitate an agile, resilient logistics sector

The NLP directly addresses these challenges by providing a cohesive framework to improve trade competitiveness, reduce costs, and attract foreign investment.

1. Cost Reduction and Efficiency

By cutting logistics costs by just 1%, export demand could rise by up to 7.4%, according to the World Bank.
Reducing port dwell times by a single day can boost exports by 7.4%, while increasing freight speeds to 40 km/h could result in a 3.7% export growth.

2. Infrastructure Development

The NLP prioritizes the development of multidimensional logistics hubs, economic zones, and international corridors. Key focus areas include:
Modernizing seaports (e.g., Chattogram and Payra).
Enhancing land ports for regional connectivity with India, Nepal, and Bhutan.
Expanding air freight capacity to meet rising demands for time-sensitive exports.

3. Private Sector Collaboration

The policy encourages public-private partnerships (PPPs) to attract investment in logistics infrastructure and services.
{" "} Bombino Express , with its extensive{" "} international network {" "} and time-critical services, is perfectly positioned to leverage these opportunities.

4. Export Competitiveness

Special focus is given to{" "} streamlining customs clearance, reducing red tape, {" "} and modernizing ICT systems for trade facilitation.
nnovations like AI-driven supply chain solutions and real-time tracking systems are critical for achieving these goals.
