Garment shipments from Bangladesh to its major Asian markets—India, China and Japan—are rising by the day thanks to competitive prices the country offers and spiralling production cost in China.

The government has decided to offer assistance for treatment of sick readymade garment workers and education of workers’ children from the RMG sector Central Welfare Fund.

LIMITED scope for technical education which fails to meet the requirement of the apparel industry in Bangladesh appears to be gravely concerning in that while several billion dollars in salaries and allowances paid to top-level foreign employees fly out of the country, the situation, if it continues for long, is likely to spell a disaster for the industry as it would grow further.
