BGMEA (Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association) a
recognized trade body that represents export oriented garment manufacturers and
garment exporters of the country. Starting in the late 1970s as a negligible
non-traditional sector with a narrow export-base, the Readymade GARMENT
INDUSTRY emerged as a promising foreign exchange earning sector of the country
by the year 1983. Since then, this sector has been acclaimed as the thrust
sector of Bangladesh economy. BGMEA had only 12 members at the time of its
inception in 1977. At present day this organization is run by a 27-member board
of directors elected for tenure of one year. The board is headed by a president
who is assisted by four vice presidents and a qualified team of officials. The
BGMEA set up its regional office in Chittagong in 1985. Chittagong is a
strategically important commercial port and the gateway for all RMG exports.
