The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) is the only recognised trade body that represents all the export oriented garment manufacturers and exporters of the country.

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) is the officially recognised apex apparel export trade body of 4,490 apparel manufacturing units.

The RMG sector earned over US$ 9 billion in 2006. The BGMEA helps to drive commerce by increasing sales of Bangladeshi-produced garments and pursues excellence in the Bangladeshi readymade garments (RMG) sector through its activities and programmes, including establishing and nurturing relationships with foreign buyers, businesses and trade associations, organisations, chambers, and research organisations.

The BGMEA also acts as a pressure group to protect the interests of the RMG sector and acts as a facilitator of trade negotiations with global trade bodies such as the WTO, ILO, and UNCTAD.

Bangladesh is a low-lying country with a total area of 55.598 square kilometers. It stretches attitudinally between 200 34’ and 260 38’ north and longitudinally between 880 01’ and 920 41’ east. It is mostly surrounded by Indian Territory except for a small strip in the south east of Myanmar. Bay of Bengal lies on the south. Most of the area is relatively flat lying in the deltaic plain of the Ganges- Brahmaputra- Meghna river system. The only significant uplands are in the northeast and southeast of the country with average elevation of 244m and 610m respectively. The country is covered with a network of rivers and canals forming a maze of interconnecting channels.

Bangladesh has a tropical monsoon climate marked by sweltering temperatures and high humidity. The country has four seasons, the winter (Dec-Feb), summer (Mar-May), monsoon (Jun-Sept), and autumn (Oct-Nov). During summer and monsoon tropical cyclones, storms and tidal bores are not uncommon.

The population of Bangladesh is about 139.2 millions. Majority of the population are Muslims. Hindus, Buddhists and Christians make up 13 percent of the entire population. Over 98 percent of the people speak Bengali. English however, is widely used.

The lowest administrative unit is the union run by an elected council. Each union comprises a number of villages and about 8-10 unions cluster into a thana. Government services are concentrated at the thana level. There are about 507 thanas in Bangladesh. A Several thanas form a district. The total number of districts stands at 64. The entire country is broadly divided into six administrative divisions, namely, Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rajshahi, Barishal and Sylhet.

Bangladesh has an agrarian economy. Agriculture accounts for nearly 46 percent of the GDP and provides employments to more than 61 percent of the workforce.
