Bangladesh gas shortage affects garment factory production

According to a report by The Daily Star on November 15, natural gas shortages in Bangladesh have seriously affected the normal production of at least 700 garment factories, especially in garment factory clusters such as Savar, Ashulia, and Gazipur. Currently, due to insufficient natural gas supply in Bangladesh, the output of most garment factories can no longer meet order requirements. Siddiqur Rahman, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association, said that due to tight natural gas supply, the production capacity of garment factories in major industrial centers is declining. If the gas supply problem is not resolved, the garment industry may not be able to achieve its export target of US$50 billion by 2021.
