Bangladesh's FBCCI urges entrepreneurs to focus on high-value garments

Jashim Uddin made the call at the first meeting of the standing committee on readymade garments (RMG), knitwear and sweaters at the FBCCI office.

Exporters are gradually losing the advantage of cheap power, energy and labour, he said.

Despite being the second-largest exporter of RMG, Bangladesh mainly exports cheaper garments, he was quoted as saying by a news agency.

As prices of raw materials keep rising, exporters must focus on exporting high-value garments to continue the industry’s growth, he said.
