Bangladesh's garment sector faces significant disruption as labor protests force production halts and threaten export timelines. Nearly 690 factories suspended operations, with cargo movements to Chittagong port severely impacted and multiple sailings at risk of delay.
The disruption arrives amid broader logistics challenges. Transportation capacity remains constrained for an 11th consecutive month, compounding pressure on exporters.
