This document provides an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of Bangladesh's textile sector, with a focus on the ready-made garment industry. It discusses the history and growth of the sector since Bangladesh gained independence in 1971. While the garment industry has been very successful in providing jobs and exports, it faces challenges such as low wages, lack of labor protections, and low productivity compared to other countries. However, the sector remains important and there are opportunities to expand exports through market and product diversification. With continued improvements, the future of Bangladesh's textile industry remains promising.
