Bangladesh Apparel Industry Faces New Challenges

"P," the World Bank released "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp "Bangladesh < /a > development" in October 2013, saying that the beautiful situation of Bangladesh's clothing and clothing industry has changed. At present, the garment and garment industry is standing at the crossroads. Now is the time to take action. If not, the cost may be very high.

< p > the World Bank report said: "during the past year, fatal accidents such as fire and building collapse have exposed the dangerous state of the garment and garment industry, and the reality and social system compliance problems, the country's major foreign exchange industry has come to a historic crossroad."

< /p >

< p > the report says that Bangladesh clothing is expected to grow into a $360-420 billion industry in 2020 if it can prevent the tragedy of the a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > Tazreen < /a > the fashion factory fire and the collapse of the Rana square building.

P adds that, on the other hand, clothing and apparel industry can continue to ignore workers' power and safety, encourage buyers to reduce their dependence on Bangladesh, or completely abandon Bangladesh to protect their reputation among consumers, so that the garment and garment industry will shrink.

< /p >

< p > industrial accidents make people worried about the industry's compliance with labor standards and workers' safety. The international community has placed the Bangladesh clothing industry under close supervision.

< /p >

< p > therefore, low wages, poor working conditions and violation of workers' rights have attracted more and more attention, which poses problems for the sustainability and competitiveness of the whole garment industry in Bangladesh.

< /p >

< p > reported that manufacturers, buyers and governments did not pay attention to the safety of workers.

The report said that the buyer asked for good quality and low price but ignored the working environment, while manufacturing enterprises did not invest in improving safety and labor standards to reduce costs.

In addition, the lax government and ineffective supervision have contributed to the occurrence of these accidents.

< /p >

< p > now is the time when Bangladesh a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_f.asp" > garment industry < /a > action.

For the Bangladesh government, the most urgent task is to ensure the implementation of measures recommended by foreign buyers, international agencies and domestic regulators.

All stakeholders must work together to ensure a healthy and safe working environment. Otherwise, clothing and clothing industry will be hard to recover and continue to grow.

On the other hand, the cost of doing nothing can be very high. If the European Union suspended market access for Bangladesh, Bangladesh's exports could drop by 4.1% to 8%, P said.
