While seeking fresh investments for high value-added apparels, Faruque Hassan, President, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has urged Chinese garment manufacturers to avoid relocating old factories to Bangladesh. Chinese garment manufacturers plan to supply their design and technologies to Bangladeshi apparel suppliers, he notes.
However, relocation of old Chinese garment factories will prove to be detrimental for the Bangladesh industry due to low machine capacity. The machines used in Bangladesh garment units have higher production capacities and are environment-friendly, he adds.
