BEPZA deal to create 3,000 jobs through new export-oriented factory
Bangladesh is set to start manufacturing greenhouse hydroponics tents, as Green Pure Houseware (BD) Co Ltd, a China (Hong Kong)-based company, has signed a land lease agreement with the Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) to set up a manufacturing facility at the BEPZA Economic Zone.
Under the project, the company will invest $30.47 million to produce greenhouse hydroponics tents – portable enclosed structures designed for soilless plant cultivation – alongside EVA cabinet mats, cartons and PE packaging films. BEPZA said the hydroponics tents are a non-traditional, high-value export product, reflecting its focus on product diversification and entry into specialised global markets.
The products will be exported to major destinations, including the United States, Europe, the UK, Canada and Japan. The project is expected to create employment opportunities for 3,000 Bangladeshi nationals.
