Bangladesh apparel sector grapples with escalating price discrepancy and idle capacity
A United States coalition of buyers proposed a price hike on apparels in response to workers’ call for higher wages in Bangladesh's garment sector even after a pay rise.

The factory owners are general members of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).
