Mangoes
and avocadoes from Myanmar have caught attention of foreign buyers at
the China-ASEAN Expo held in Nanning, China September, according to
Myanmar Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Producers and Exporters Association.
“We brought Myanmar avocado, mango, watermelon, cucumber, sweet cucumber, walnut, tea leaf and variety of fruits and vegetables to the expo. Visitors were mostly interested in mangoes and avocadoes among all the fruits and vegetables,” Daw Nilar Aung, secretary of the association, said.
The reason why the visitors took interest in Myanmar mangoes and avocadoes was that the fruits were good in size, quality and shape, she added.
During the exhibition, at least 30 Chinese fruits and vegetables trading companies came and discussed about the possibility of importing Myanmar fruits to China, according to U Soe Than Min Din, chairperson of the association.
“A Chinese delegation from those companies will come to Myanmar and discuss about this with local cultivators this month,” he said.
Fourteen Myanmar participants including growers and traders attended the China-ASEAN Expo 2016, according to the association.
“Myanmar fruits and vegetables get exported to China through the border gates, which is convenient in terms of transportation. Expos like this are of great benefit for Myanmar exporters and cultivators because these will allow them to expand our market not only in China but also in other countries in the ASEAN,” U Soe Than Min Din said.
