What We Deliver
Six Pillars of Bangladesh Food & Dietary Supplements Intelligence
Our six interconnected pillars combine regulatory compliance, cold-chain logistics, and real-time inventory control to give food and dietary supplements manufacturers a fully operational, audit-ready warehousing presence in Bangladesh.
01
DGDA and BFSA Compliance Management
Every storage facility and inventory process is aligned with DGDA licensing requirements and Bangladesh Food Safety Authority standards. We maintain current knowledge of the Food Safety Act 2013 and its amendments to keep your operations audit-ready. Our compliance team tracks regulatory changes and updates your SOPs proactively.

How It Works
From Brief to Board-Ready Intelligence
Our four-step engagement takes you from initial scoping through regulatory mapping, facility setup, and live operations so your food and dietary supplements inventory is compliant and moving within six weeks.
Step 1 · Day 1-2
Scoping and Requirements Discovery
We conduct a structured intake session to understand your product portfolio, SKU count, temperature requirements, import volumes, and target distribution channels in Bangladesh. Regulatory status of each product under DGDA and BFSA is assessed at this stage. A detailed scoping document is produced and agreed before any work begins.
Taevas Approach
The discovery session covers product classifications under the Food Safety Act 2013, DGDA import registration status, shelf-life and storage condition requirements, Incoterms preferences, and intended sales channels including modern trade, pharmacy, and e-commerce. Outputs include a requirements matrix and a preliminary regulatory gap analysis.

Rising Health Consciousness Driving Demand
Bangladesh's growing middle class, now exceeding 30 million households, is increasingly purchasing vitamins, minerals, and functional food products. Urban consumers in Dhaka and Chittagong are leading demand for imported dietary supplements, protein products, and fortified foods. Modern pharmacy chains and online health platforms are rapidly expanding their supplement ranges to meet this demand.
DGDA and BFSA Dual Regulatory Oversight
Food and dietary supplements in Bangladesh sit under dual oversight: the Directorate General of Drug Administration regulates products classified as medicines or health supplements, while the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority governs food products under the Food Safety Act 2013. Navigating both authorities requires precise product classification at the point of import registration. Misclassification is one of the most common causes of customs delays and product holds.
Chittagong Port as the Primary Entry Gateway
Approximately 92 percent of Bangladesh's imports enter through Chittagong Port, making proximity to this gateway critical for food and supplement supply chains. Cold-chain facilities near the port are limited, creating a competitive advantage for operators with pre-cleared cold storage and bonded warehousing arrangements. Inland Container Depots in Dhaka offer an alternative routing for consolidated shipments.
Digital and Modern Trade Channel Expansion
Modern trade formats including Shwapno, Meena Bazar, and Agora supermarket chains are growing their health and wellness shelf space, creating new distribution opportunities for international supplement brands. E-commerce platforms such as Chaldal and Shajgoj are also emerging as significant channels for dietary supplements and functional foods. Brands that establish compliant warehousing and reliable replenishment cycles gain a strong first-mover advantage in these channels.

Who This Is For
Built for These Situations
Market Entry
International Supplement Brand Entering Bangladesh for the First Time
You manufacture vitamins, minerals, or functional food products and have identified Bangladesh as a high-growth market but lack the local regulatory knowledge and physical infrastructure to operate compliantly. You need a partner who can handle DGDA registration, set up compliant storage, and activate distribution without requiring you to establish a local entity immediately. Speed to shelf and regulatory correctness are your two non-negotiable priorities.
Outcome
Compliant product on Bangladesh shelves within 6 weeks, with full DGDA import documentation and live inventory visibility from day one.
