Bangladesh:
A LAND OF STORIES
ecember 16th Dec 1971, heralded the name of Bangladesh

to the world, this new country rose high and came out of
the shadows of the then West Pakistan. Over the years
this proud nation has faced hurdles and hardships to
grow in stature to now being one of the worlds biggest garment
exporter.
Bangladesh is a country rich in history, with vibrantly diverse
cultures, that co-exist in harmony, this country is always sunny
with smiles always ready to celebrate from Eids to Christmas,
durga and pugas, as one nation.
The Bangladeshi nation has always been known for being
industrious and artisans make a name in textiles/garment
manufacturing from muslin to denim fabrics, and today
Bangladesh stands proudly one of the top spots amongst the
leaders in RMG exporters.

BANGLADESH

OPENING SPEECHES
Mr. Tofail Ahmed, MP
Honorable Minister
Ministry of Commerce
Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh
Thanks to the organizer to

give me the opportunity to
attend the 2nd denim
expo. I recall last year I
also came over here and
inaugurated the show.
Let me share that we have
targeted 50 billion dollar
of RMG export in 2021
when Bangladesh will
celebrate
her
50th
anniversary
of
Independence.
Our
apparel industry started
its journey from 1978
exporting only $ 12000
but last year we exported
garments worth 24.49
billion dollar; this year we
targeted 27 billion dollar.
In denim sector we are
doing very well. In every
sector, economically we
are
moving
ahead.
Bangladesh is no longer a
bottom-less
basket.
Bangladesh today is a
country
of
bright
prospective.
H.E. Mr. Pierre Mayauddin
Ambassador & Head of the Delegation

Delegation of the European Union
to Bangladesh
Last year Bangladesh
exported denim to the EU
worth 610 million Euro
which makes the EU the
biggest export market of
Bangladeshi denim. I
believe that Bangladesh
will progress further in
term of denim value
chain. I mean more
improved technology and
skills will be used here.
The EU will always stand
by your side in order to
reach the goals together. I
wish
the
second
a great success.
05
OPENING SPEECHES
H.E. Mr. Benoit-PIERRE Laramee
High Commissioner of Canada
to Bangladesh
Canada and Bangladesh have

a long term relationship
which was built on the
foundation of development
assistance. Our mutual trade
is 2 billion dollar annually, a
significant portion of which
is garment export. Canada
offers Bangladesh duty free
export to nearly all kinds of
product including garments.
Bangladesh has tremendous
potential to increase its
denim market share globally.
I hope that every consumer in
Canada will be able to
proudly say My jeans made
in Bangladesh.
H.E. Mr. Gerben Sjoerd de Jong

Ambassador of the Netherlands
to Bangladesh
It was a few months ago I was

present in the inauguration of
the 1st Bangladesh Denim
Expo and found the show very
interesting; now this time I see
the second edition of the show
is
much
bigger.
Congratulations
to
Mr.
Mostafiz Uddin. As the show
grows rapidly, more and more
international community will
come and the organizers have
to find a bigger place for the
show. Likewise I think the 50
billion target will be realized.
Since the Rana plaza, I have
seen so many initiatives from
the Govt, BGMEA to meet the
transformation required. This
is the key to success and
continue the growth.
06
OPENING SPEECHES
Mr. Md. Atiqul Islam
President, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers

& Exporters Association (BGMEA)
I would like to congratulate
the
organizers
for
organizing
such
a
wonderful Expo. I would
like to say here that the
Rana Plaza and Tazreen
were wake up calls for us.
Since the tragic incidents
we are trying our best to
improve the factories. We
want to think positively
and work together. Day by
day Bangladesh is moving
forward. We want to give
the message to the world
that No east, no west,
Bangladesh is the best in
garment manufacturing.
Mr. Abdus Salam Murshedy
President, Bangladesh Exporters Association,

& Former President, Bangladesh Garment
Manufacturers & Exporters Association (BGMEA)
Denim production is not

based on seasons. People
wear denim 12 months in
a year and in every
season. Let me share the
global position as well as
our position in denim. In
2014,
Bangladesh
exported denim to the
world worth 2.5 billion
dollar, but if we count
denim related products it
was 3.5 billion dollar in
total. Last year we
exported
around
44
million pcs of denim to
USA and 112 million pcs
of denim to the EU. If you
see the graph from 2009 to
2014 our growth rate was
11.16 percent. To improve
more, I think Bangladesh
Denim expo can help our
denim manufacturers a
lot. Such initiatives will
greatly help our apparel
industry.

SPECIAL SEMINAR
Made in Bangladesh
A New Reality: Vision 2021

Jointly organized by Bangladesh Denim Expo & Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers &
Exporters Association (BGMEA), the seminar covered present business and investment trends,
global sourcing dynamics and potentials for Bangladesh, prior issues to support the growth
potentials, like infrastructure/port/SEZs, power/gas, human resources development,
compliance issues, prudent commercial diplomacy & political stability; supportive policies and
coordination between different government agencies, product & market diversification, a
holistic/national approach towards branding Bangladesh and its denim industry. The
discussions focused towards devising a strategic action plan to overcome the existing
challenges and realize the potentials.
17
SPECIAL SEMINAR
The vision to export RMG worth 50 billion dollar
is a national vision. I would say that you need to
achieve the vision considering the national
environment. If you want to gear up, you have to
ensure safer environment. You need to create a
society which cares of environment, fight against
green house gas emissions. I think that will be
the proper approach to achieve the vision.

Our honorable Prime Ministers vision is

Bangladesh will be a middle income country by
2021. In line with the vision of the Honorable PM,
BGMEA also fixed the target of achieving US$ 50
billion dollar of RMG export by 2021. Certainly
some of us raised question how to achieve it.
China is reducing their capacity on mass
production of RMG and concentrating on value
added products. Vietnam will have some of that
share but Bangladesh will have a bigger
opportunity. The apparel products of India and
Pakistan are not similar with what we are
producing. Yes we have challenges like backward
linkage, productivity and so on, but if we can keep
our current performance of production, that will
be enough to achieve the target.
In Bangladesh, the readymade garment industry

started its journey in the late 1970s with only
$12000 export, by the year 1983 our export was
only 31 million dollar, by 1990s the RMG export
was 866 million dollar and it was 4.8 billion
dollar by 2000. In 2009 the RMG export reaches
11.2 billion dollar and the export became 24.58
billion dollar in 2014. When the MFA phase was
going to be stopped, it was predicted by many that
we would have a massive upset in our export. But
we the people of the country proved that the
prediction was wrong. The recent global recession
was another test for us and we have successfully
maintained our export growth even during the
recession. Let me share also that Bangladesh
Denim Expo have secured an inseparable place in
our apparel industry. I feel proud when I see many
of the jeans are made in Bangladesh and I also
like to say your jeans made here.
SPECIAL SEMINAR
Special Guests
Mr. Md. Shahidullah Azim
Bangladesh is a nation of amazing people. The RMG

sector is the example of the resilience of our people.
We have faced many challenges like quota, global
recession, Rana Plaza, but we have faced all the
challenges very successfully every time. Despite all
the problems, Bangladesh continues to maintain a
steady growth rate in the RMG sector. Though we
are the 2nd largest RMG exporting country of the
world, there is a huge gap between China, the
largest, and us. But production cost in China is now
getting higher, and they are giving up RMG
manufacturing. So we can avail of this opportunity.
We produce good quality garments at a very
competitive price. Based on these, we can say that
achieving 50 billion dollar of RMG export by 2021 is
possible.
Vice President, Bangladesh Garment

Bangladesh is the land of opportunity, you just

have to grab it and utilize. The vision of exporting
50 billion dollar of RMG by 2021 is possible and
viable, but it will not be easy. The export growth of
the past has been tremendous but I do not see this
time you achieve it without putting any extra effort.
We have to be more transparent, have to work
together in solving the problems. If Bangladesh
continues the transformation they have started, if
the mindset change of the factory owners, buyers,
govt continues, then I dont see any obstacle to
reach the 2021 vision, you can go even beyond
that.
Mr. Roger Hubert
Country Head, H&M Bangladesh
Bangladesh is the land of opportunity, you just have

to grab it and utilize. The vision of exporting 50
billion dollar of RMG by 2021 is possible and viable,
but it will not be easy. The export growth of the past
has been tremendous but I do not see this time you

Bangladeshs garment export to Australia is growing

There is no doubt that the RMG industry is playing a
key role in transforming Bangladesh from its current

congratulate the Govt of Bangladesh, the private sector,
the workers and the people of Bangladesh in general.
They have very successfully briefed the world the

sector has tremendous potential to perform even better.
Switzerland, with its green technology is ready to help
Bangladesh to achieve the goals together.
