Myanmar failed to meet the export target of 600,000 tonnes for green grams in the financial year 2023-2024 (April-March), with only 500,000 tonnes being exported, the Ministry of Commerce’s statistics showed.
Myanmar aimed to export 600,000 tonnes of green grams to external markets last FY, with 150,000 tonnes in each batch, the Ministry of Commerce announced.
Nonetheless, Myanmar conveyed around 503,970 tonnes of green grams to foreign markets in the past FY 2023-2024 beginning 1 April, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
Green grams are exported to China, India, the Netherlands, Ireland, England and Germany through maritime and border trade channels.
The price of green grams from the central Myanmar regions was K1,524,000 per tonne in early April. It hit a record high of K2,041,000 per tonne in the first week of February.
There is a wide range of foreign markets for Myanmar’s green grams. More than 8,000 tonnes of green grams are sent yearly to the European Union member countries.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation and the Ministry of Commerce have agreed to export the green grams to European countries for bean sprouts starting in 2015. — NN/EM
