The economy of Bangladesh is significantly dependent on agriculture. But it’s a great news for the country that, readymade (RMG) sector of Bangladesh has risen as the biggest earner of foreign currency. This sector creates about 4.2 million employment opportunities and contributes significantly to the GDP. Readymade garments (RMG) of Bangladesh are powered by young, urbanizing, workers, where most of them are women.

The foundation of textile sector was first established in the 60th decade of 19th century. For the first time, the industry exported shirts (Mercury shirt) to the European market in 1965-66, which was produced from Karachi. In the latter, 9 exporting industries were available in 1977-78.
