Bangladesh’s apex garment makers’ body, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), has once again called upon the US Government, to provide duty-free market access to apparel made from US cotton even as it underlined such a move will benefit both the US cotton growers as well as apparel makers in Bangladesh.
Reports underlined this while adding BGMEA President made this call during his recent meeting with the US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas.
The BGMEA President also reportedly sought cooperation from the US towards making the process of importing cotton from the US easier even as he reportedly informed the US envoy about the BGMEA’s initiative of organising the Bangladesh Apparel Summit in the US in October later this year even as he requested him to extend his support to this end.
