Bangladesh Opportunity: Bangladesh- the country of world famous muslim fabric and the Great Royal

Bengal Tiger has now emerged as an child labor free apparel giant in the

world textile and apparel market. The country exports its apparel products

worth nearly 5 billion US$ per year to the USA, EU, Canada and other

countries of the world. At present the countryis the 6th largest apparel

supplier to the USA and EU countries. The major products are Knit and

Woven Shirts and Blouses, Trousers, Skirts, Shorts, Jackets, Sweaters,

Sportswear’s and many more casual and fashion apparels.

Investment Climate of Bangladesh: The Government of Bangladesh offers great incentives for encouraging the

use of local fabrics in the export oriented garment industries. For

encouraging textile export, the import of capital machinery is duty-free.

Import of cotton is also duty-free. Moreover, the Government has recently

implemented several policy reforms to create a more open and competitive

climate for foreign investment.

Bangladesh is endowed with abundant and cheap labor force that is easily

trainable and convertible into semi-skilled and skilled work force. Price,

heavily weighted by the labor cost, is one of the main determinants of labor

in our country is lower compared to some of our neighboring countries as

well as some other garment producing countries in South-East Asia and East

Europe. Obviously, existence of such cheap but easily trainable labor is one

of the advantages that Bangladesh enjoys and will be enjoying over a

considerable period in the context of international trade on clothing.

History of RMG IndustriesThe Ready Made Garment industry in Bangladesh is not the outgrowth of

traditional economic activities but emerged from economic opportunities

perceived by the private sector in the late 1970s. Frustrated by quotas imposed

by importing nations, such as the US, enterpreneurs and managers from other

Asian countries set up factories in Bangladesh, benefiting from even lower

labor cost than in their home countries which offset their additional cost of

importing all materials to Bangladesh. Bangladesh-origin product met quality

standards of customer from North America and Western Europe, and prices

are satisfactory . Business flourished right from the start. Many owners made

back their entire capital investment within a year or two and thereafter

continued to realize great profit. Some 80% of Bangladeshi production was

sold to North American customers and virtually overnight Bangladesh became

the sixth largest supplier to the North American market.

After foreign business began building a readymade garment industry,

Bangladeshi capitalists appeared and a veritable rush of them began to

organize companies in Dhaka, Chittagong and smaller towns where basic

garment, men’s and boys’ cotton shirts, women’s and girl’s blouses, shirts and

baby clothes were cut and assembled, packed and supplied to customer

overseas (mostly in US). With virtually no government regulation the number

of farms proliferated. No definitive count was available, but there were

probably more than 400 farms by 1985, when the boom was peaking.

After just a few years, the readymade garment industry employed more than

2,00,000 people. According to some estimates about 80% were women, never

previously in the industrial workforce. Many of them woefully underpaid and

worked under harsh conditions. The net benifit to the Bangladeshi economy

was only a fraction of export receipt, since virtually all materials used in

garment manufacture were imported; partially all the value added in

Bangladesh was from labor.

Cutting Section: Cutting In-charge implement the instruction of the production manager. It is

very necessary to ensure available of fabric, machine, marker, paper, and

accessories. Cutting ration is done as per number of size. In this section

fabrics are inspected thoroughly by spreading it on the table. Quality table is

used for major checking; main purpose of the quality table is to remove the

rejected part. The whole fabric will be rejected if there is even a minor

problem.

After checking fabric properly the next steps are to ensure markers according

to consumption and spreading.
