Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association

The Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association or BKMEA is a national trade organization of Knitwear manufacturers in Bangladesh and is located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Mohammad Hatem is the president of the body, who has been playing a vital role for the Bangladesh RMG industry in the national and international level. He is a prominent business leader of the country. It is one of the main organizations which is expanding the ready-made garments industry of Bangladesh, and assisting the government and labour organizations to frame policy guidelines for this industry. Although there are some criticism related to the commitment of the members of this organisation to raise the labour and environmental conditions within this industry, it is almost impossible to sustainably grow this industry without this organisation's firm contribution and meaningful programs.
