Dhaka International Trade Fair (DITF) 2015 witnessed low number of visitors putting the traders in dire straits. This year the inflow of visitors into the fair came down to over 70 percent due to the nationwide blockade coupled with strikes.
The participants said sales and orders had dropped by around 70 per cent this year comparing to that of last year for a low turnout of visitors.
Most of the participants expressed their utter frustration on Friday as their sales and orders from consumers fell short of expectations, resulting in huge losses every day.
