The garment sector has suffered a production loss of nearly $400 million due to the recent labour unrest in September and October.

"Work orders from international clothing retailers and brands are beginning to return as normalcy is restored in the sector," said Khandoker Rafiqul Islam, president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA).

He made the remarks on Saturday during a press conference at the BGMEA office in the capital.
