Efforts Made to Increase the Volume of Myanmar Exports to Foreign Countries through Border Trade Posts

During the term of the State Administration Council, measures are being taken to increase the exports to foreign countries through border trade posts as follows:

  • More than US$173 million was generated from exporting over 3100,00 metric tons of rice and over 190,000 metric tons of broken rice to foreign countries through border trade routes from 1 April to 10 June in 2022-2023 FY.
  • US$3.378 million was generated from exporting 2711.80 metric tons of fishery products through two border trade posts of Maungdaw and Sittwe townships up to 11 June in 2022-2023 FY.
  • US$4,171,848 million in total was generated from exporting goods through Lwegel and Kanpeikte border trade posts in Kachin state from 11 to 17 June 2022.

The demands of rice and broken rice are increasing due to the higher rates of FOB rice price in this year as well as the exported volume in this year was increased, comparing to the same period of last year. Moreover, freshwater fish farming businesses are being focused in Rakhine state because freshwater products have an export market.
