0.25 5 1.25 Ensuring safety and security of the
laborers has to be maintained not
only for the compliance issue
came in the forefront but also a
basic human right. For this to
ensure the cost of Garment
industry has gone up. Buyers are
not paying any extra CM on this
ground. Ultimately the industries
profit margins are getting low day
by day, certainly a threat for the
new entrants.
0.25 3 0.75 Concern of human rights bodies
are yet a vocal issue. Soon, this
may drive buyers to make another
mandatory issue without raising
any CM on to their orders.
Ultimate result is extra CM, again
a threat for the new entrants.
0.25 4 1.00 Keeping apart the trade unionism
consequence either good or bad
for the garment industries in
Bangladesh, the withdrawn of GSP
facility pushed the garment
manufacturer to another hurdles.
0.25 3 0.75 Textile is the backward linkage of
Garment Industry and the first
and basic raw materials for Textile
is cotton from which threads are
produced in spinning mills than
weaving or knitting and than
other intermediate process are
done to forward the fabrics in to
garment industry. A long run
cotton import uncertainty will
always be there as a back-end
threat.
