Myanmar’s marine exports collect over $181 mln from 1 April to 22 July

The maritime product exports earn Myanmar over US$181million between 1 April and 22 July this FY, according to the Fisheries Department.
The country exports fisheries products through normal trade and border trade routes and also carries out local production processes systematically to be free from pathogens keeping in line with regulations set by the trade partner countries.
It secures $119.351 million via sea and air routes and $62.545 million via land borders.
The Fisheries Department and the Myanmar Fisheries Federation work together to ensure local consumption and foreign exports.
The marine products are normally exported to Japan and EU countries, and fish, prawns and crabs to China, Thailand and neighbours via the Muse, Myawady, Kawthoung, Sittway, Myeik and Maungtaw border trade zones.
The products received from the livestock breeding sector and onshore and offshore fishing operations are exported directly as raw materials and by packaging them at cold storage.—TWA/GNLM
