Business leaders in Chattogram urge halt to 41% port tariff hike, fearing price hikes and lost exports.
Business leaders in Chattogram are urging the government to halt a proposed 41% tariff increase at Chattogram Port, warning it will raise consumer prices, hurt export competitiveness, and benefit foreign operators like DP World.
They argue the hike, set for October 15, is unjustified given the port’s profitability, lacks stakeholder input, and could push buyers to shift production to lower-cost countries like Vietnam and India.
