BGMEA President Farooq Hasan revealed the data in a letter to journalists and BGMEA members on Monday.
Farooq Hasan said in the letter that Bangladesh exported 1.33 billion kilograms of knitwear to EU countries last year, leaving behind China, which exported 1.31 billion kilograms. However, Bangladesh brought in US$7.30 billion from knitwear exports, which was slightly less than China’s exports.
