The Myanmar Fisheries Department, under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, has said that it plans to increase fishery exports after two fish processing plants were granted permits to send their products to the European Union. According to an article in the Myanmar Times, TT Cold Store Factory and A&N Foods (Myanmar) have acquired licences to export wild fish to the EU market. Now there are 21 total licensees for wild fish export. However, Myanmar companies cannot currently export farmed fish to the EU because of a lack of guarantees regarding contamination. The Saudi Arabia’s Food and Drug Authority is planning to send a delegation to Myanmar to check storage facilities. “The Saudi product quality standards are not as strict as those for the EU, so there won’t be any difficulty,” U Tun Lwin, deputy permanent secretary of the ministry, was quoted as saying.
