Expo in Yangon, Myanmar, focuses on agriculture, livestock, food and beverage

Myanmar on June 28 kicked off an expo for multiple industries, including those of agriculture and livestock, power and machinery, food and beverage, and hotel, restaurant, and catering, in Yangon.

Speaking at the opening event at the Yangon Convention Center, Mya Han, president of the Myanmar Livestock Federation, said that Myanmar is a country that relies on agriculture and livestock. He added that if technologies for these sectors are well-developed, production and quality will be comparable to those of other countries.

Expos like this will help the country acquire technologies and markets for the agriculture and livestock sectors, Han said, adding that farmers will gain profits if Myanmar's products gain strong market access.

During the event, fertilisers, feed milling machines, solar panels, and locally produced foods and beverages were displayed.

Event organiser Ko Zarni said the expo aims to introduce new products to agricultural and livestock farmers and help companies strengthen their market presence by displaying their products at the event.

Over 90 organisations, including over 60 companies and associations and over 30 small and medium-sized enterprises, participated with over 130 display booths present.
