Bangladesh looks to new markets for apparel
12/08/2011
“We mainly depend on the US and Europe for garment exports,” said Jalal Ahmed, vice-chairman of the EBP in a statement on August 10. “Now we are looking for new export markets such as Brazil, Russia, Australia, South Africa and South Korea to give a big boost to the apparel industry.”
He said India and China are also becoming potential markets for garment exports. Mr Ahmed added: “It took a long time [for Bangladesh] to reach a global position. The world’s apparel buyers are eying Bangladesh as a country that is able to supply quality materials in a timely way.”
