Fair pricing of BD products
The RMG products imported from Bangladesh are sold at prices four or five times higher than the buying price in retail houses in the EU, the USA and Canada. If RMG manufacturers managed to get at least three times the amount of the present price, our export earnings would amount to over USD 80 billion.
This additional earning can increase per capita income, upgrade living standards of the RMG workers and have a multiplier effect on our economy. The absence of fair price contributes to the income poverty of workers in the country, and consequently destroys their incentive to form trade unions which the ILO is trying to establish.
