DHAKA, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- The largest show of Bangladesh's dairy farm industry "Dhaka Cattle Expo 2023" kicked off here on Friday to highlight investment opportunities and advanced technology in the dairy and livestock sectors of the country.

Organized by the Bangladesh Cattle Farmers' Association, or BCFA, in collaboration with the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock and the Directorate of Youth Development of the Bangladeshi government, the two-day exhibition was attended by a large number of dairy farms, clients, and visitors.

The salient features of the cattle show are breed contests and international breed displays.

It also provides opportunities for animal purchasing.

On the sidelines of the 2-day show, cultural and traditional programs are also being held at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC), also known as the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center which is located at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla, a busy commercial and central neighborhood.

The organizers said the exhibition aimed at enhancing the knowledge of farms and farmers, and skills by adopting modern techniques for value addition, which in turn will contribute to the country's national GDP or gross domestic product. ■
