Chittagong Export Processing Zone, Export processing zone in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The Chittagong Export Processing Zone covers 453 acres in South Halishahar, Chattogram, laid out as 501 industrial plots averaging about 2,000 square metres each. Water comes from a Chattogram WASA treatment plant, gas from Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Limited, and power from a PDB-run plant through the zone's own substation.

The zone was established in 1983 as Bangladesh's first export processing zone, launching the nation's strategy for attracting foreign investment. This founding marked the start of the country's industrial modernization efforts.

The zone's name is usually shortened to CEPZ or Chattogram EPZ, and it is run by the Bangladesh Export Processing Zone Authority (BEPZA). Its 501 industrial plots, averaging about 2,000 square metres each, host foreign and local firms working under BEPZA's tax and customs arrangements.

The area is well-equipped with infrastructure and provides sufficient water, gas, and electrical supply for industrial operations of all sizes. Visitors should note that it is an active industrial zone with restricted access, and safety precautions are necessary.

In a 2010 survey by FDi magazine of 700 economic zones worldwide, CEPZ placed third for cost competitiveness and fourth for economic potential. As of 2022–23 it had drawn cumulative investment of US$2.04 billion and produced cumulative exports of US$40.5 billion.
