4. Introduction
The economy of Bangladesh is largely dependent on
agriculture. However, in recent years, the Ready–
Made Garments (RMG) sector has emerged as the
biggest earner of foreign currency. The ready-made
garment (RMG) sector has experienced an exponential
growth since the 1980s.The sector contributes
significantly to the GDP. It also provides employment
to around 4.2 million Bangladeshis, mainly women
from low income families which affects their social
status.

5. History
1950,was the beginning of R.M.G in the Western World. In order
to control the level of imported RMG products from developing
countries into developed countries,MultiFiber Agreement (MFA)
was made in 1974. The MFA agreement imposed an export rate 6
percent increase every year from a developing country to a
developed country. In the early 1980s, This is when Bangladesh
started receiving investment in the RMG sector. some
Bangladeshis received free training from Korean Daewoo
Company. After these workers came back to Bangladesh, many of
them broke ties with the factory they were working for and
started their own factories.

8. The future
The RMG sector is expected to grow despite the global
financial crisis of 2009. As China is finding it challenging to
make textile and foot wear items at cheap price, due to rising
labor costs, many foreign investors, are coming to
Bangladesh to take advantage of the low labor cost. Even
now for the readymade garments most of the manufacture
need to bring all the accessories from abroad, which is very
costly. Now they are start using locally accessories minting
the required quality. Zippers, buttons, labels, hooks, hangers,
elastic bands, thread, backboards, butterfly pins, clips, collar
stays, collarbones and cartons are the major garment
accessories produced in Bangladesh.
