DBL Group, a prominent garment exporter, typically ships apparel worth about $50 million monthly. However, due to recent violence surrounding a quota reform movement and a nationwide curfew, their shipments will plummet by at least 30% this month. The group’s production facilities, which include spinning, dyeing, and garment factories, were forcibly closed during the unrest, resulting in significant financial setbacks. This disruption affected not only DBL but also numerous other garment exporters of varying sizes. Small and medium-sized factories faced intensified challenges, exacerbated by logistical issues such as transport operators avoiding routes due to violence. Moreover, an internet blackout further hampered communication with international partners, complicating efforts to resume operations swiftly. The broader impact extended to the primary textile sector, with significant stockpiles of unsold yarn due to disrupted supply chains and decreased demand. Despite recent efforts to resume operations, the sector faces substantial financial losses and uncertainty moving forward.
