Over 7,558 MTs of shrimp to international markets last eight months

In the past eight months, Myanmar exported over 7,558 metric tons of shrimp to global markets.
The shrimp exports dropped by over 3,000 tonnes compared to the year-ago period, according to the statistics of the Department of Fisheries. Myanmar sent over 11,181 tonnes of exported shrimp worth $40.095 million in the corresponding FY period.
Myanmar delivers fishery products, including fish and shrimps, to over 40 countries, including Thailand, Bangladesh and Japan, through Yangon Port and land borders.
There are over two million workers in the fishing industry, and the ability to export is being checked to ensure the food safety of aquatic products, following international standards. — TWA/MKKS
