What is the ready-made garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh?
0 views
The ready-made garment industry is Bangladesh's largest export sector, employing over 4 million workers, the majority being women. Bangladesh is the second-largest apparel exporter in the world after China. The sector produces shirts, t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, and other clothing for global brands. The RMG industry has faced challenges including factory safety (addressed post-Rana Plaza through ACCORD and ALLIANCE initiatives), minimum wage debates, and the need to diversify into higher-value products.
