: Starting in late 70s as a small nontraditional sector of export,
Ready-made Garment (RMG) emerged as a promising export earning sector of the
country by the year 1983. Bangladesh at that time lacked a sectoral trade
body, non-government in nature, free from traditional bureaucracy, to help
the sector to boost up the country's foreign exchange earnings. As a result,
1977 marked the birth of BGMEA. Since its humble inception with only
nineteen (19) garment manufacturers and exporters, BGMEA has grown into a
strong and dynamic body. Today it is proud to have about 3500 garment
manufacturers and exporters as its members. The fundamental objective of
BGMEA is to establish a healthy business environment for a close and
mutually beneficial relationship between the manufacturers, exporters and
importers in the process ensuring a steady growth in the foreign exchange
earnings of the country. To this end, BGMEA
has been playing a very strong role to lead the industry in concurrence with
the government.
