Myanmar exports 20 tonnes of live eels and crabs to China per day

Myanmar exports about 20 tonnes of live eels and crabs to China per day after examining the quality at Yangon, Mandalay and Muse export quality control laboratories and water exchange tanks.
The live eels and crabs from Rakhine State, Ayeyawady Region, Yangon Region and Bago Region are exported to China through the Muse border trade zone. The products are checked at the laboratory for marine products and water exchange tanks in Shwepyitha Township in Yangon and then at the marine products quality control laboratory of the Natyaykan camp of FisheriesDepartment in Mandalay and exchanged the water at three private water exchange tanks and are transported to Muse.
The Mandalay Fisheries Department launches a quality laboratory to control the quality of marine products and to reduce export damage by cooperating with private entrepreneurs and it can increase the foreign incomes of the country.
The country exports about 20 tonnes of eels and crabs per day through official border trade camps. If 100 visses are exported from Yangon, it leaves about 90 visses in Muse. Therefore, the water exchange process plays a key role. The service charges for one box containing 40 kilogrammes of eels/crabs are reasonable. The Myanmar Fisheries Federation, Myanmar Eel Entrepreneurs Association, Myanmar Crabs Entrepreneurs Association and water exchange tanks owners are cooperating to facilitate the eel/crab traders, establish quality water exchange tanks, increase eel/crab export volume and create a firm market based on the quality guarantee to earn revenues for the country using marine products.
Myanmar temporarily suspends the export of fish, prawn and frozen products to China but normally exports eels and crabs. If the new water exchange tank at the Natyaykan camp of Mandalay, the marine export volume will be higher than before. — Nyein Thu(MNA)/GNLM
