Denim Expert employs 2,000 workers in Bangladesh
The owner of a jeans manufacturer in Bangladesh is warning of a grave humanitarian crisis in the country if fashion stores in key export markets do not reopen for business soon.
In an open letter to governments in the EU, UK and US, Mostafiz Uddin says ongoing lockdowns in Western markets are killing Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry.
The managing director of manufacturer Denim Expert Limited, and founder and CEO of Bangladesh Denim Expo and Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE), is imploring them to consider the impact the action is having on the millions of workers in their supply chains.
