The fisheries sector in Myanmar will embark on a new chapter in coming weeks as several factories begin importing fish before processing and exporting them as finished goods, a private sector source said.
Daw Toe Nandar Tin, the owner of Anawarhlawn Company in Kyeemyindaing township, said the system, which mirrors the better known cutting, manufacturing and packaging system used in the garment sector, was a boon to the fisheries industry.
She revealed that the first batch of fisheries was coming from an unlikely source — Argentina.
“We are testing the CMP system at my factory with a shipment of fish from Argentina. I have already reported to the Department of Fisheries on the cost and volume of fish that we’re aiming to process,” she said.
“I expect to get a license next week.”
