It is a divisional headquarter in southwestern Bangladesh. An important river port and produce collection and trade center, it is connected by river steamer, road, and rail to the major cities of the southern Gangetic delta. Shipyards are located 3 miles (5 km) south, on the Kazibacha River. Forest products from the Sundarbans

supply Khulna's industries, which include jute, oilseed, cotton-textile, paper, and board mills and match and newsprint factories.
