I have just returned from a trip to Rangpur and Nilphamari to visit two of the larger CHP factories. We flew from Dhaka to Saidpur, about an hour’s flight north, close to the border with Bhutan and stayed overnight in Nilphamari. The factories are in the midst of meeting an order for 720,000 rugs (no, that’s not a misprint) made from rags and recycled materials. The picture below will give you an idea of the scale of the factories.
