There is a huge demand for Bangladeshi jewellry exports to developed countries like Europe, Middle East, America and Canada. Any handmade product is highly valued in the world market. And if this product is gold jewellry, then there is no point. The goldsmiths of Bangladesh make jewellry very meticulously which is not possible on machines. Again, the amount of gold in handmade jewellry is less.

For Bangladesh, the preferential trade facility or GSP facility in European countries will play a big role in export. As a result, there is a huge potential for export of gold jewellery made by Bangladeshi artisans. There is a possibility of exporting jewellery worth around Tk 7,000 crore
