Myanmar will export about 450 or 500 tonnes of coffee in this coffee season, according to PyinOoLwin Township coffee research and technology dissemination centre.
Currently, the coffees are being yielded and the high-quality coffees are available mostly from December and March. About 450-500 tonnes of coffee, yielded this year, will be exported to external countries like America, the Netherlands, Australia, Japan, Korea, France, Germany, Thailand and China,” said Daw Mee Mee Myint, the Deputy Director of PyinOoLwin Township coffee research and technology dissemination centre.
“Currently, the coffees are demanded competitively due to the high quality. There are many varie of the coffee species. The coffee price is ranging between K4 million and K5 million per metric ton. The price of coffee in the international market are above K5 million. Last year, Myanmar exported about 450-500 per tonne of coffee to the external market. This year’s coffee has not been shipped yet. This year, we are planning to export the same amount of coffee as last year. The coffee is now being cultivated because it has a strong market and export market,” she clarified. Myanmar annually exports coffee to the external market. At the end of this year’s coffee season, the buyers will come and test the quality of the coffee. The coffee plantations in China and Brazil were also destroyed by storms. Consequently, Myanmar coffee price is expected to be upright for almost three years. — Maung Aye Chan/GNLM
