Buyers cancelled $ 1.48 billion orders: BGMEA chief

[JafarQureshi]

Dude, no-one in BD is going to starve to death if they get laid off for some months or even a year over Corona.

BD is almost self-sufficient in food and has ample fiscal resources to provide millions of the most needy with subsistence rice, oils, onions and dall to keep them alive.

6-700 people a day are dying in rich and developed Italy and Spain and so we should not make light of this new deadly virus, the likes of which has not been seen in a century.

So you are okay with people losing jobs and government providing free food?

So you are okay with people losing jobs and government providing free food?

Yes as long as it saves lives.

Life is more important than money.

Why that lady in the video begging her clients not to cancel the orders. They are not obliged to buy your exports at any cost. Same thing happening in Pakistan as well and as per the experts here,situation won't be improving for next few months. People are scared, many has and will loose their job so purchasing power will get a hit too which will effect garments making countries like Pakistan, Bang etc.

Just few weeks back ppl from Pak,Viet and especially Bang were excited that with China going down from virus, they will be getting more orders and potential shift of market from China to other developing countries but lol how quickly it got changed with the change of virus epicenter from China to EU and US.
