Why visit

Scale and Focus: This event is a key platform for the grain industry, attracting exhibitors and visitors from over 30 countries. Buyer Authority: Attendees include rice mill owners,.
Why exhibit
Exhibitors at the 14th Grain Tech Bangladesh reach Bangladesh's rice, wheat, feed, and edible-oil milling buyers in one venue: mill operators, processors, and equipment specifiers evaluating machinery and process lines. The show is presented by FCM and organised around the country's grain and food-processing sector, so stands map directly to milling, storage, and oil-processing procurement rather than general trade audiences. With prior editions running as international exhibition and conference programmes, exhibiting positions a company in front of regional buyers consolidating grain-processing capacity across Bangladesh.

Weather
Dhaka in November sits in the post-monsoon dry season: daytime highs around 28-30C, night lows near 19-20C, and roughly 2 rain days across the month, making the 5-7 November 2026 window one of the drier and cooler periods for a trade visit. Humidity eases compared with the monsoon months, but heavily air-conditioned halls can feel cold, so carry a light layer.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Local currency is the Bangladeshi taka (BDT); cards work at larger hotels and many restaurants, but keep cash for taxis, small vendors and tips. Pick up a prepaid SIM from Grameenphone, Robi or Banglalink at the airport or city outlets for data and calls, or organise an eSIM before departure. Mains power is 220-240V at 50 Hz with round-pin sockets, so pack a universal adapter. Mobile data is generally reliable in the Bashundhara and Gulshan districts, with slower speeds at peak hours.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Weekend and show-day rhythm
Bangladesh's weekly holiday is Friday-Saturday. The 5-7 November 2026 edition therefore runs Thursday to Saturday, with Friday the local weekend day and Saturday closing the show - plan factory visits or supplier follow-ups outside those days.
Language and business etiquette
Bengali is the everyday language and English is widely used in business and at ICCB. A handshake is normal in professional settings, business cards are exchanged, and a short personal introduction before commercial talk is expected.
Dress for halls and meetings
Light business attire suits Dhaka's warm November days; a light jacket helps in strongly air-conditioned halls and at evening receptions.
Currency, cash and tipping
The Bangladeshi taka (BDT) is the local currency. Carry small notes for taxis, tea stalls and tips; tipping is discretionary and a small round-up is normal for drivers and hotel staff.
Security and badge flow at ICCB
Expect badge checks and bag screening at ICCB entrances. Arrive 20-30 minutes before the first conference session on 5 November to clear security and collect your pass.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: DAC
Fly into Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC), Dhaka's main gateway and the base of Biman Bangladesh Airlines; Gulf and Asian hub carriers provide the usual one-stop connections from Europe and the Middle East. Aim to arrive 4-6 November 2026 for buffer ahead of the 5 November opening, and note that the show closes on Saturday 7 November, the local weekend day, so build your return around that. No fares were captured for this window - compare live fares directly with carriers or booking sites.
Visa
Most foreign visitors to Bangladesh require a visa. Business travel is supported through a business visa category; apply through the Bangladesh Online MRV Portal (visa.gov.bd) or the official visa application centre. Confirm requirements for your nationality before booking.
Estimated cost: Not yet confirmed

Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC): Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC) is the main commercial gateway serving Dhaka; allow 45–60 min by road or rail to International Convention City Bashundhara - ICCB.. Allow road or rail time to International Convention City Bashundhara - ICCB; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near International Convention City Bashundhara - ICCB: Bashundhara / Uttara: Bashundhara / Uttara; Bashundhara / Gulshan: Bashundhara / Gulshan; Gulshan / Banani / airport corridor: Gulshan / Banani / airport corridor.
Ride-hail: Dhaka has active ride-hailing coverage: Uber and Pathao are the apps most commonly used for city trips, including the DAC airport to Bashundhara/ICCB run. Set the pickup point inside the airport arrival zone, confirm the in-app fare before departure, and allow extra time in peak traffic. Availability and pricing can change, so install and test the apps before you fly.
Public transit: Dhaka Metro Rail (MRT-6) is the city's main mass-transit line running north-south, but ICCB in Bashundhara is not directly on the line, so the practical mixed commute is metro to an Uttara-side station plus a taxi, rickshaw or city bus to the venue. City buses run along Pragati Sarani toward Bashundhara, and koyjabo.com carries a Dhaka bus route and fare directory. Fares are low but journey times are unpredictable, so allow a large buffer on show mornings.
Parking: International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) has on-site parking for cars and coaches, normally accessed from the Bashundhara main gate. Daily parking rates and hall-specific access rules were not captured in the evidence pack, so confirm with the organiser or venue before driving. Many exhibitors and visitors use app-based taxis instead of self-driving because of Dhaka traffic and limited central parking.
