INTRODUCTION
Textile industry plays a major role in the development and industrialization process of countries and their integration into the world economy.
The World Trade Organisation (2006) notes that in 2004, developing countries as a group (low- and middle-income countries) accounted for more than half of all world exports of textiles and clothing and that in no other category of manufactured goods developing countries enjoy such a large net-exporting position.
Textiles have been an extremely important part of Bangladesh’s economy for a very long time for a number of reasons.
Bangladesh is the world’s second biggest exporter of clothing after China. Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation Annual Report (2005-2012).
Readymade garments make up 80 percent of the country’s $24 billion in annual exports and 15 percent share of GDP, (Bloom,2001).
In Asia, Bangladesh is the one of the biggest largest exporter of textile products providing employment to a great share percent of the work force in the country.
