by

Factory owners in Bangladesh are calling on British supermarkets to reinstate cancelled clothing orders as food sales in Britain continue to boom.

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) says the five largest supermarket chains – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Morrisons and Aldi – have told suppliers they will not pay for more than £75 million of orders that they placed.

Cancellations at Tesco, the UK’s biggest supermarket, are estimated to be in excess of £43 million.
