Myanmar primarily exports value-added food products, including noodles, to the Republic of Korea, Japan and ASEAN countries, according to the Myanmar Food Processors and Exporters Association.
“Myanmar’s food products were primarily shipped to markets of Japan, South Korea and ASEAN. If we manage to reduce production costs, it will increase market competition between the neighbouring countries, boost exports and create opportunities to embrace challenges. Myanmar’s food processing industry practises good food packaging, yet some packaging materials are still required to be imported,” said an official of the association.
Myanmar’s noodles are exported to regional markets, while dried vegetables, roasted sesame powder, honey and other value-added food products are shipped to Japan and South Korea.
Moreover, efforts are being exerted to export value-added food products made from mango, durian, coffee, avocado and other fruits to Belarus and other foreign countries. — ASH/KK
