According to a report in Myanmar Business Today, local and foreign companies are currently carrying out feasibility studies for poultry processing plants. In a briefing to the Yangon Regional Parliament, Yangon Mayjor U Maung Maung Soe said that investors would have to take into account local residents’ concerns, including those related to wastewater. Regional parliamentarian U Yan Shin said that current techniques of poultry killing are inhumane and unhygienic. “We need [a] poultry processing plant to produce healthy food,” Yan Shin was quoted as saying in the report. There are currently four poultry markets in Yangon, where live poultry transported across the country is sold, the report said.
