Bikash
Food Products, a project of PBK, was piloted in 1993
in Pakundia Upazila with an initial capital of tk.400
Thousand from Canada Fund from Canadian High
Commission Dhaka and some additional food aid from
IIRD. PBK erected a warehouse with a capacity of 350
metric tons. IIRD also provided financial support to
construct this modern warehouse. PBK open a bakery
with initial employment for 10 hardcore poor women. By
carefully adopting to the local need and ensuring
quality product, the bakery has managed to report net
profit from only the 2nd year of operation. In
response to a gradually expending market, PBK has
started its 2nd food unit in BSCIC plot in Kishoregonj
with exploring options for the ownership structure of
both units by the employee & workers.
