Abstract

Bangladesh receives its second-largest foreign-exchange earnings through export of processed shrimp and seafood. In recent times, however, fair wages and labour rights in the industry have been key areas of concern for buyers, consumers and civil society organizations in the United States (US) and the European Union (EU). Both the major export-oriented shrimp and seafood processing sector and readymade garments sector have been under constant threat from foreign buyers for violation of work safety, gross labour non-compliance and other deprivations.
