The textile and apparel industries are the single largest source of economic growth in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy. Exports of textiles and garments are the principal source of foreign exchange earnings. While the garment export sector has seen tremendous success, working conditions in the industry are below international standards and labor rights are often ignored. Bangladesh relies heavily on exports to the US and EU, which together account for over 95% of clothing exports. The government has sought to liberalize trade and promote the textile and clothing sector through various industrial and export policies. However, weaknesses include a lack of production efficiency, product development skills, and poor adaptation of social and environmental standards.

Bangladesh Textile
& Apparel Industry
Welcome To Our Presentation

3. The textile and apparel industries provide the single source of economic
growth in Bangladesh's rapidly developing economy. Exports
of textiles and garments are the principal source of foreign exchange
earnings. Agriculture for domestic consumption is Bangladesh’s largest
employment sector. The tremendous success of ready made garment
exports from Bangladesh over the last two decades has surpassed the most
optimistic expectations. Today the apparel export sector is a mufti-billion-
dollar manufacturing and export industry in the country.
Vision Statement

4. Many researchers have investigated working conditions in the Bangladesh
garments industry. In fact Working conditions in the RMG(Ready Made
Garments) sector are below standard and do not meet the ILO standards.
Labour standards and rights are commonly ignored in the RMG factories
in Bangladesh: poor practices include the absence of trade unions informal
recruitment, and irregular payment, sudden termination, wage
discrimination, excessive work, and abusing child labour.
Literature Review

6. Bangladesh relies heavily on the United States and European Union for
exporting clothing. The two regions/countries account for over 95% of
exports in 1996. The shares of the United States and European Union
fluctuated a great deal. In recent years, since 1993, the share of the United
States declined while the share of the European union increased. The
increased share of the European Union can be attributed to the fact that
Bangladesh does not face any quota while it faces quota in the United
States.
The Trade Performance of Bangladesh
in Clothing

7. During the last decade or so, Bangladesh has substantially liberalized
its trade regime, moving away from costly protectionist policy toward a
more export-friendly trade regime. The current industrial policy(1999)
and Export Policy(1997-2002) have identified the textile and clothing
sector as one of the "thrust" sectors in Bangladesh. The patterns of
comparative advantage and hence the structure of exports and imports
involving textiles and clothing, as stated before, depend on stages of
economic development in Bangladesh and other countries.

concentrated around the capital city of Dhaka.
Geography

10. Today, the textile industry of Bangladesh can be divided into the three main
categories: the public sector, handloom sector, and the organized private
sector. Each of these sectors has its advantages and disadvantages.
Currently, the organized private sector dominates, and is also expanding at
the fastest rate.
