Spread Your Hearts For The Workers
Bangladesh though becomes the
second largest exporter in RMG sector still facing many problems. Its main problem
is profit motive attitude of the owner and retailer. They always think about
their profit but never think about the betterment of workers.
Buyers always demand price cut.
A Dhaka-based manufacture exports
cotton long sleeve tops for a Spanish buyer from 2005. Manufacturing cost and
wages doubled within last 8 years. But the buyer comes back with repeat order
and lowering the price each time. Buyer pushed down price for this year to $
2.40/piece from 3.40 in 2005. Beside this on different pretexts 33% (5% commission
+2% buyer’s men + 15% fabric + 10% accessories) price was off before
manufacturer had start production. After take back almost 33%, they are leaving
67 % for manufacturers to complete the job. With the remaining, manufacturers
have to buy fabrics-accessories, make clothes, pay establishment costs, ship
out clothes and make profit as well. At the end take its toll on workers.
Actually Bangladeshi RMG manufacturers
are forced to subsidies its buyers.
I do not think that it is the only duty of the
owner of the garments but it is the duty of its user too. We can do much more
for them. When we wear dresses do we think ever how many peoples and their
hardship involves making me nice-smart and uphold my prestige? All the buyers (local
& foreigner) need to take care of the workers because money is obviously
not above humanity.
Many of the consumers now take
their responsibility for the miserable workers. Already European Union, Canada,
Japan and many other countries spread their hearts for the workers. Canadian
consumers want to pay 50 cent extra for the betterment of the worker and we
appreciate this.
Despite of all demerits still we
are the second largest exporter of this sector in the world because of our
quality of workers and their works. Few days before USA holds our GSP facility,
though it’s a bad news for our RMG sector but could not stop us from making the
people of the world nice, beautiful and smart. Buyers always come here for our
cheap costing price and of our best quality also.

I, personally sometimes visited
some of our big garments manufacturing companies, they said me that they have
no capacity to take order for the upcoming four five years or more. Here you have enough opportunities to make
you as a businessman and you can earn much money by purchasing stock lot from our
country at a low cost. When buyers place order for their product, our
garments always made minimum 5percent extra called leftover. After shipment
factory [BKMEA MEMBERS LIST] sold this leftover products in local market/buyer. Many peoples are now involved
this stock lot business. Some of them are personally known by me. They are collecting
the leftover goods from various factories like sweater, woven, knit etc. After item
ways shorting out/QC they are looking for foreign buyers who are available in
Bangladesh. Now a day foreign buyers are frequently comes to Bangladesh and
purchases huge quantity RMG stock lot. Most of the foreign buyers are come
from Turkey, South Africa, Sri-Lanka, India, Portugal, Spain. Dubai, Pakistan,
Germany, Italy and from many more countries around the world. You can easily take
those extra goods at a minimum price. It may help you to earn a lot of money.

People's Republic of Bangladesh
Government, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA)
and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) work
together to clean up the country’s image on the global stage after Rana Plaza (an
eight storied building named Rana Plaza crumbling down at Savar and left over
more than eleven hundred garment workers dead) and Tazreen Fashions tragedy.
More than one programs have been announced, lot of funds have been pledged
affected which is still ongoing. Labor law had been upgraded by our government and we can assure our buyer
that this sector will be much more advancing what we have now. Our new pay
commission will be published soon and our workers will benefited. BD’s central
Bank announced low-cost loans for garments factory upgrades.
We especially thankful to our
European partners to support us by keeping our GSP facility and it will help
for the betterment of our workers and obviously our country too. Japan (our
trusted friend) gave Taka 100 crore (taka 79=1 USD) to help upgrade working
conditions in garments factories.
Accident always been an accident,
such as Rana Plaza tragedy and Tazreen Fashions firs though these are the
painful incidents for our country, we can only hope and pray that this will
never happen to us again. So your bright
business future is waiting for you in our readymade garments sector. Wish
you a profitable business life for you. Just Spread Your Hearts For The Workers,
They’ll Spread Your Business.
