                  Bangladesh is self-sufficient in match manufacturing. She has also her cement, leather and soap factories and her glass and silk industries, but all of them require further expansion. In the manufacturing of paper she is almost self-sufficient. She has got four paper mills, one at Chandraghona in the district of Chittagong Hill Tracts, another at Pakshi in Pabna and the remaining two are in khulna and at Chhatak in Sylhet respectively. These mills are producing a good quantity of paper from bamboo and other indigenous pulps. Besides, these are several Paper and Board mills in the country. 

                                     The essential prerequisite for industrialization of a country is the building up of heavy engineering and machine tools industries. The B.I.D.C. has bent its efforts towards this direction. It has established the first iron and still mill in Bangladesh at Chittagong at a cost of 27 cores 8 lake Taka. Bangladesh Machine Tools Industry in Dhaka is also a big scheme. Besides these, factories for manufacturing diesel engines, electric ware and cable, cement, medicine. chemicals, etc. have been set up. Ship-building, cotton textile and sugar industries are also making progress satisfactorily. Eastern Oil Refinery is a big project. There are also several fertilizer factories in Bangladesh.           
Manufacturing Industry In Bangladesh

                       There can be no prosperity without industry. The people and the Government realize this. From time to time the Government is holding industrial conferences. They have adopted plans and program mes to industrialize the country. But for want of coal and iron they are going rather slowly. Electricity is indispensable for industries. We have an abundance of flowing water in our country. Hydro-electricity can be produced from this. That can supply power to our industries. The Karnafuli Hydro-electric Project goes a long way in solving this problem but it is inadequate to our present requirement. Bangladesh is very rich in natural gas resource and our gas industry is making rapid progress.
