    For Bangladesh, the readymade garment export industry has been the proverbial goose that lays the golden eggs for over fifteen years now. The sector now dominates the modern economy in export earnings, secondary impact and employment generated. The events in 1998 serve to highlight the vulnerability of this industry to both internal and external shocks on the demand and supply side. Given the dominance of the sector in the overall modern economy of Bangladesh, this vulnerability should be a matter of some concern to the policymakers in Bangladesh. Although in gross terms the sector’s contributions to the country’s export earnings is around 74 percent, in net terms the share would be much less partially because the backward linkages in textile have been slow to develop. The dependence on a single sector, no matter how resilient or sturdy that sector is, is a matter of policy concern. We believe the policymakers in Bangladesh should work to reduce this dependence by moving quickly to develop the other export industries using the lessons learned from the success of apparel exports. Support for the apparel sector should not be reduced. In fact, another way to reduce the vulnerability is to diversify the product and the market mix. It is heartening to observe that the knit products are rapidly gaining share in overall garment exports as these products are sold in quota-free markets and reflect the strength of Bangladeshi producers in the fully competitive global apparel markets…

    UN reports 102 countries import textile and apparel products and 104 countries export these products. Global trade in textile and apparel products account for an approximately $440 billion. Pakistan is bogged down in the 5% textile requirement of the world, by dedicating 62% of its GDP share for textile. An anti-dumping of 5.8% has been imposed by the European Union, which has put Pakistan in a desperate position to match competitiveness posed by Bangladesh, India, China, Sri-Lanka and Vietnam.…

    It is now a cliché that the acceleration in the global movement of capital and goods, termed conventionally ‘globalization’, carries both immense opportunities, but also serious potential threats. Ultimately it will be the international competitiveness of firms in particular economies that will determine how far opportunities are converted into lasting national benefits and how far potential threats from heightened international competition result in serious cost. There is general agreement that currently with important domestic policy changes and with the forthcoming end of the international textile and clothing quota regime the economy of Pakistan is at an important crossroads. The competitiveness of the industrial sector in the new more liberal international and domestic environment will have a critical bearing on economic prospects for the foreseeable future.…

    Pakistan has the 26th largest economy in the world with a GDP of USD504.3 billion and a GDP per capita of USD 2,600. It has a population of approximately 176.2 million people (2008 estimates). OVERVIEW Pakistan is the 4th largest cotton producer and consumer (preceded by China (Mainland), India and the USA). The cotton industry is an integral aspect of the economy. This is also true of the textile sector on which the economy is heavily dependent. As such cotton is a principal crop. Mill consumption of cotton has increased from 1.3 million tons in 1990/91 to 2.6 million tons in 2007/08. ECONOMICS Production in 2007/08 totaled approximately 1.9 million tons, with an average yield of 620 kilograms/hectare. The cotton industry employs approximately 15 million people. Pakistan has been a net importer of cotton since the mid 1990s. This is due to expansion in domestic demand for cotton. Pakistani’s cotton exports have been below 65,000 tons for the past three seasons. The imports are significantly higher. Pakistan’s cotton imports have been increasing. Pakistan is currently the 2nd largest importer of cotton (behind China Mainland) with 880,000 tons in 2007/08. Pakistan imports a large amount of its cotton from the United States, specifically the Pima/Extra Long Staple cotton. In addition, in 2007/08, Pakistan imported significant quantities of short to medium staple cotton from India. Cotton imported from India is more cost effective since it’s cheaper to trade and transport over land than sea. Cotton trading is facilitated by the fact that the government has no quantitative restrictions or duties on imports and exports of cotton. The Pakistan economy is linked to the success of the cotton and textile sectors. They account for 8.2% of the value added in agriculture and 2% of GDP. Furthermore, the cotton and textile industries dominate exports, accounting for 55% of export value. The textile industry has been growing and is of considerable…

    Undoubtedly, the garments industry has had a significant impact in the economy and image of Bangladesh. The garments industry is one of the two major foreign exchange generating sources, the other being remittance from expatriates. The garments industry is providing employment to a huge number of people especially women who account for 90 per cent of the work force in this industry. Due to conservative norms and values that exist in the country, women are not able to work in all kinds of industries. The RMG has provided an excellent opportunity for them to get employment, bringing a significant change in the demographics of the work force of the country. In that way a major social change has been brought by this industry. The employment opportunities in this sector are encouraging farmers in rural areas to discontinue farming and join the garments industry. Women are leaving their employment in the informal sector where they mostly worked as housemaids. Many will argue that the living standards of the labourers are still below par, but one has to agree that they are at least living a better life than they used to live before.…
