BD in excellent position to boost RMG market share

 Germany’s Parliamentarian State Secretary of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development Hans-Joachim Fuchtel has lauded Bangladesh’s dynamism in readymade garment (RMG) production, saying it has bright scope to increase its share in global market. “RMG production in Bangladesh is incredibly dynamic. This country is in an excellent position to increase its share in the world market,” he said during his three-day visit to Dhaka. Fuchtel, however, said the tragic Rana Plaza building collapse put the lack of factory safety, the insufficient building standards and the inadequate salaries and working conditions of garment workers on the global agenda, said a German Embassy media release on Monday. Fuchtel visited Bangladesh from October 24-26. The main objective of his visit was to get further insights into the current state of the Bangladesh RMG sector. During his trip to Dhaka, he visited a factory, the Rana Plaza site and the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP) in Savar where he planted a tree to commemorate the victims of the tragic Rana Plaza building collapse, according to a news agency.
