Garments

The ready-made garment (RMG) sector is the lifeblood for the Bangladeshi economy and acts as a catalyst for the development of Bangladesh. The “Made in Bangladesh” tag has also brought glory for the country, making it a prestigious brand across the globe. Maintaining higher export growth every year, now the sector is the largest contributor not only to overseas trade but also to the national economy. The sector alone directly employs nearly 4 million skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers. Indirectly, the garment sector, which started its journey in Bangladesh since the early 1980s, employs a few crores of people in the country. Bangladesh’s position as the world’s second largest readymade garment exporter continues to hold strong. The sector accounts for 83% of total export earnings of the country. In 2020, the export value of ready-made garments (RMG) in Bangladesh amounted to approximately 27.95 billion U.S. dollars.

In the garment sector majority of the workers are women and most of them come from the rural areas and 90% of them are illiterate. In the garment working place the workers are facing so many problems. Out of them, the main problems are low wage, long working hours and an unhealthy atmosphere, OSH and especially for women maternity facilities are neglected, harassment and physical abuse are very common. Bangladesh Textile & Garments Workers League is working in the RMG sector to ensure decent work for the workers for a sustainable industrial growth.

Agriculture

Although the modern economy is largely dependent on industrialisation, agriculture remains the main driving force for the economy of Bangladesh. The economy of Bangladesh stands on 4 pillars namely agriculture production, national revenue income, export earnings and remittance by migrant workers. Agriculture has been functioning in Bangladesh since long as a catalyst for sustainable development and growth of the country. It is the largest employment sector in Bangladesh. As of 2019, it employs 37.75 % of the total labour force and comprises 12.68 of the country’s GDP. The performance of this sector has an overwhelming impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation, human resources development and food security. The scope of modern agriculture has been widened significantly although agriculture used to be originally defined as the cultivation of land for producing crops only, now-a-days, any applied activity through proper utilization of natural resources which relates to the production, development, preservation, processing, marketing and extension of not only crops but also other agricultural commodities such as fish, meat, eggs, forest products, etc. is universally accepted within the purview of agriculture. According to the above definition, crop production, animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry, etc. are integral components of agriculture. But, crops undoubtedly constitute the largest and most important sector of Bangladesh agriculture. In Bangladesh, it is possible to reduce rural poverty and raise the living standard of common people by establishing agriculture as a profitable sector. It is, therefore, necessary to reorganize and develop the agricultural production system into a more dynamic and commercially profitable sector.
