He also requested the Canadian brand to explore avenues of how they could collaborate with their suppliers in developing value-added products and increase sourcing those products from Bangladesh as it would benefit both sides.

He came up with the call during a meeting with Gary Ross, Chief, Global Sourcing at Reitmans, held at BGMEA Complex on October 19.

Pauline Ng, Managing Director, Reitmans Canada Limited Asia, was also present at the meeting.

They discussed various trade-related issues including the global apparel market situation and Reitmans’ plans of business expansion in Bangladesh.

Faruque Hassan highlighted the points why Bangladesh is regarded the globe’s prime sourcing destination.
