Bangladesh is turning into a major sourcing hub for sweaters for international clothing retailers and brands as work orders are shifting from China and global fashion trends are changing. Chinese manufacturers are no longer interested in making sweaters because of the complexities in the manufacturing process, higher cost of production, and shortage of skilled workers, according to industry insiders.As a result, exports of the item are rising from Bangladesh, the world’s second-largest garment supplier after China. Earnings from sweater exports reached $4.05 billion in the fiscal year of 2020-21, up 12.62 per cent year-on-year. In FY20, the receipts stood at $3.59 billion, a decrease of 15.47 per cent from the previous year’s $4.25 billion, as the severe fallout of the coronavirus pandemic took a toll.Of the $600 million garments exported to Russia last year, the majority were sweaters. Russians use sweaters all year round and they offer better prices than other countries.
ACI Fertilizer Limited is planning to introduce a waste management technology in Bangladesh which will convert organic wastes into bio-fertilisers – a key substance to improve soil fertility. According to ACI sources, the company is working to bring this technology, called EcoDigester, to Bangladesh in collaboration with the Netherlands. In addition to large-scale waste management, the machine will produce organic fertilisers, which are important for sustainable agriculture. Using a specific type of bacteria, the EcoDigester can process any decomposable waste in just 24 hours. It is possible to produce 5-10 tonnes of organic fertiliser a day with this industrial grade machine.It will cost Tk6 crore to set up a machine with a processing capacity of 10 tonnes of waste per day. Around 3-3.5 tonnes of bio-fertiliser can be produced from 10 tonnes of waste. Moreover, a smaller version of the machine will cost around Tk30-35 lakh which will be able to process 50 kg of waste a day.
