Underlining the significance of enhanced productivity, Faruque Hassan, the President of the BGMEA, has maintained that lack of the same was one of the major barriers for the sustenance of the industry.
The BGMEA President maintained that the minimum wage has been revised several times while the production cost is also increasing every year but the apparel industry has somehow not been able to enhance the productivity.
… this is one of the major impediments for the sustenance of the industry, reportedly, stated Faruque, adding that given the existing situation, the BGMEA has initiated a centre on efficiency innovation and occupational health and NIPOSH or the Network to Integrate Productivity and Occupational Safety and Health Improvement, a network to integrate productivity and occupational safety and health, was the first stepping stone towards the centre of innovation and efficiency.
Faruque maintained this while addressing a meeting of the network in Dhaka recently.
