Fishery sector "cannot compete"

Fishery sector "cannot compete"

Myanmar's fishery breeding sector is largely incompetent and cannot compete in the global market, said chairman of the Myanmar Fishery Products Processors and Exporters Association (MFPPEA).

“When we reviewed the fishery sector during the three-year period, there is no encouraging development,” stated Htun Aye. “It is the reality, not distortion. We want the fishery sector to be successful [but] Myanmar still cannot compete with neighbouring countries in global market.”
Htun Aye advised that the government should take steps to boost the fishery sector to earn more foreign revenue, as marine resources are abundant in the country.
“The government does not see the reality in this sector. There will be no development in the market unless fish and shrimp farmers can breed or process,” said MFPPEA vice-chairperson Toe Nandar Tin.
