BGMEA urge to setup industrial zone for RMG sector

Bangladesh: Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), which works with the vision to develop the RMG (readymade garment) industry of Bangladesh and the economy of the country, has urged the Government of the country to establish two industrial zones for the apparel sector near capital Dhaka and Chittagong on priority basis.

The BGMEA added that if the industrial zones are not possible then limited Governmental land from the concerned authorities should be allotted so that the RMG factory owners can relocate their units from present locations to overcome crisis.

The BGMEA also urged the Government to save the RMG industry and that their cooperation is required to achieve the target of earning US $ 50 billion in apparel exports by the year 2021.
