India became the second-largest trading partner of Bangladesh, surpassing the United States, according to data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS).
China remained Bangladesh’s largest trading partner with about 21.21% share of total trade.
India accounted for about 8.47% of Bangladesh’s external trade by February 2026, slightly ahead of the United States at 8.46%.
Bangladesh imports rice, onions, sugar, cotton, yarn, food products and industrial intermediate goods from India.
India’s long land border with Bangladesh helps reduce transport costs, improve connectivity and support faster trade movement.
