YANGON, Sept 24 (NNN-MNA) – The Myanmar Corn Industrial Association (MCIA), is seeking ways to boost corn exports to China this year, the MCIA, confirmed.
“We expect to export 400,000 tonnes of corn to China this year. Corn is exported to China, Vietnam and the Philippines, from Sept to Jan,” an MCIA source, said.
Although Thailand is No. 1 importer of Myanmar’s corn, the association also seeks a bigger share of the Chinese market this year, to boost the country’s corn export as a whole, according to the association.
Corn is a main export item of the country, after beans and pulses.
Myanmar is estimated to export two million tonnes of corn this year, of which one million tonnes have been exported to Thailand, during the Feb-Aug period.– NNN-MNA
