As Bangladesh’s ready-made garment industry continues to strive towards achieving the ambitious target of $100 billion from garment exports by 2030, a significant shift towards value-added, high-end apparel items is underway in the sector. The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), the apex trade body representing the apparel sector, is spearheading initiatives to facilitate this transition towards high-value items. Faruque Hassan, President of BGMEA, made visits to several garment factories in Adamjee EPZ in Narayanganj to see the production of high-end apparel items. During his visits to Universal Menswear Ltd, Suad Garments Industries Ltd, Yunusco, UHM Ltd, and Remi Holdings Ltd, he talked to factory managements and officials to gain insights into the prospects of such garments in global markets. Faruque Hassan also discussed potential supportive measures to enhance Bangladesh’s capabilities in high-end garment manufacturing and exports. He emphasized the opportunities presented by non-cotton fiber products from a diversification perspective.
