Indeed, the cost of shipping a product from harvest areas to Yangon for export can be as high as the purchase price. Furthermore, the port of Yangon is regarded as one of the most expensive and least efficient ports in the world. Producers’ associations under the UMFCCI, such as the Fruit and Vegetables Producers and Exporters Association, are getting involved in the export of agricultural commodities produced in hilly regions and marketed in Singapore and Bangkok through Yangon airport, such as mangos, to improve the prices paid to producers. Cross-border trade with China is also being improved for products of Mandalay to increase the market share and better fulfil export criteria imposed by Chinese buyers.
