Bangladesh Textile Industry
While agriculture for domestic consumption is Bangladesh’s largest employment sector, the money gained from exporting textiles is the single greatest source of economic growth in Bangladesh. Exports of textiles, clothing, and ready-made garments accounted for 77% of Bangladesh’s total merchandise exports in 2002. Only 5% of textile factories are owned by foreign investors, with most of the production being controlled by local investors.
