State of Cotton & Textile Industry of Bangladesh
At whatever point I take part in scholarly discourses with
cotton and material specialists around the globe, I constantly confront an
inquiry how could it happen? Clearly the inquiry is how the material area in
Bangladesh has demonstrated a remarkable development through a decade ago? I
review a comparative dialog with Dr. Terry Townsend of ICAC a few years back.
In the wake of examining various world issues on cotton and materials, our talk
came down to Bangladesh material industry. Terry brought up an intriguing
issue, what did Bangladesh do any other way that set off the material blast?
Well the inquiry is exceptionally straightforward however the appropriate response
requires profound considerations. This article is making an endeavor to answer
this all around suggested conversation starter. There are three synergic and
natural factors that set off the material blast in Bangladesh. They are assets,
openings and approach choice. The assets incorporate plenteous work powers,
ease vitality and petroleum gas. Wealth in labor powers furnishes Bangladesh
material industry with an upper hand in creating work concentrated products.
Self-maintained residential market of 140 million with a development rate of 3%
is likewise an extraordinary help for the business. As of late Bangladesh has
demonstrated a sensible increment in per capita wage and enhanced ways of life
for white collar class. Over all the committed and earnest work drive, who are
anxious to work stretched out work hour when expected to meet the generation
target is the key component to the achievement of Bangladesh material industry.
Bangladesh had a gigantic chance to access European and the U.S. advertise through
MFA and GSM assentions for its Ready Made Garments (RMG). Bangladeshi business
people effectively accepted this open door minus all potential limitations
degree to extend and secure their business sectors. The approach choice made by
the Government essentially floated the material development. The Government
arrangement of progression of the economy supported private part speculations.
The Government proclaimed the material as a push area that prompted present an
emotionally supportive network for the material business. The emotionally
supportive network included Fiscal Benefits, Financial Benefits and
Institutional Support. Two of the most essential assets, work and power are
inexhaustible and shabby in Bangladesh. In contrasted with its rivals, India, Pakistan
and China, Bangladesh has preference of less expensive work and lower vitality
cost. Work cost is just 23 pennies/hr. While, in India, Pakistan and China the
work costs are 43, 41 and 89 pennies/hr, individually. Gas consumed vitality
cost in Bangladesh is under two pennies/KWH in contrasted with 9.33, 6.72 and
7.84 pennies/KWH in India, Pakistan and China, individually. The material
arrangement presented another tax structure intended to invigorate the
development in Backward Linkage Industry (BLI). Tax in turning division is
strikingly missing. While imported yarns and textures are intensely saddled to
dishearten imports and support neighborhood yarn preparations. All these
characteristic components had synergic consequences for the material development
in Bangladesh. Therefore Bangladesh turning industry has seen an incredible
development over most recent ten years. The ring turning limit in Bangladesh
was not really 1.5m shafts in 1996. This limit expanded to 5.7m shafts in 2006,
a four overlap increment in ten years. In open-end turning area the quantity of
casings (around 300 rotors by and large) expanded from 3000 out of 1994 to
7,876 edges in 2006. Correspondingly, trade in material parts has additionally
observed a sensational development, from $1.5b in 1994 to $9.56b in 2006. Weave
Garments send out volume in 1993-94 was very nearly a fifth ($264m) of the
Woven Garments trade ($1,292m). Though in 2006, these fares are practically
equivalent ($4,725m in Knit and $4,736m in Woven), demonstrating Bangladesh is
making up for lost time more with the Knit Garments than the Woven Garments
trade requests. The quality generation of sew articles of clothing and the
upper hand of Bangladeshi producers enable them to make up for lost time with
the expanding request in the U.S. also, European market. Bangladesh spinn-ing
plants, there-fore, utilize increasingly high caliber and relatively less
expensive Uzbek cotton, for the most part Strict Middling and Good Middling
evaluation and 1-1/8" and longer staple. Therefore, Uzbekistan beginning
cotton delighted in a critical piece of the overall industry, 63% (in 2006), in
Bangladesh. Indian cotton positioned a removed second, just 9%, around the same
time. Out of 488,691 MT of aggregate cotton imported in 2006, Uzbekistan
provided 309,138 MT, India supp-lied 45,438 MT, the USA provided 26,946 MT,
Turkmenistan provided 20,004 MT and Pakistan provided 19,985 MT. It is
intriguing to see that India and Turkmenistan have picked up a huge piece of
the overall industry in most recent couple of years because of their upper hand
over Uzbekistan cotton. All things considered, Bangladesh spinners might
dependably want to pay a premium for Uzbekistan cotton for no less than 1.5
c/lb over Turkmenistan and 3-4 c/lb over Indian Sanker-6 cotton. U.S. inception
cotton, particularly Eastern/Memphis development has likewise increased
noteworthy pieces of the overall industry in most recent couple of years due to
for the most part for defilement free cotton and better options for bring down
review and shorter staple cotton for the open end industry. Pakistan is
attempting to make up for lost time with the open-end industry in view of
defilement issues. While Australia is as yet recuperating from dry spells,
pollution free U.S. furthermore, Brazilian cotton have for some time been seen
as a reasonable contrasting options to Uzbek cotton. Shockingly higher value
shields Bangladeshi spinners from utilizing U.S. what's more, Brazilian cotton.
A couple of years back Bangladeshi spinners attempted to utilize Brazilian
cotton, yet it couldn't meet their desire. Notwithstanding, Brazilian cotton
quality has enhanced fundamentally lately and it is justified, despite all the
trouble to give another attempt to Brazilian developments. The U.S. has an
unmistakable favorable position over Brazil. Brazil has critical coordinations
and transportation issues for quite a long time. Eastern/Memphis developments
have for quite some time been delighted in a decent notoriety among spinners in
Bangladesh. In any case, the utilization of U.S. Cotton has to a great extent
been constrained to open-end turning with shorter staple and lower review
cotton (for the most part SLM
