Bangladesh garment manufacturers say fashion retailers have cancelled or put on hold more than US$3bn in orders due to the coronavirus outbreak, though a handful have agreed to pay anyway, AP reports.
The data from the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association released Monday reflected both orders already made or in the works and planned orders from the country, which is the world’s second largest exporter of clothing after China.
The cancelled orders, according to reports to the BGMEA from manufacturers, included tens of millions in purchases from many big buyers, including European buyers C&A and Inditex, Primark of Ireland and Britain’s Marks & Spencer.
