Nutty way to make money - Myanmar to hold coconut-based products expo in delta region


YANGON (Xinhua): Myanmar is set to organise the coconut-based products exhibition and competition in the delta region of Ayeyarwady on Feb. 14 and 15, according to the Ayeyarwady Region's Myanmar Trade Promotion Organisation.

"It is the first event that solely includes coconut-based products. Previously, coconut-based products were exhibited alongside various items at the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs) products expos," U Nay Win Soe, an official from the Ayeyarwady Region's Myanmar Trade Promotion Organization, told Xinhua on Thursday.

The primary objective of the event is to showcase coconut-based products with export potential in the international market and to bolster support for local businesses, he said.

"As the event features a competition, the participating exhibitors have a chance to receive awards for their products. Additionally, they may be selected for participation in international expos," he said.

The showcased coconut-based products will cover various categories, including food products, consumer goods, cosmetics and handicrafts made from coconuts, he said.

Scheduled to take place at the city hall of Pathein, the capital of Ayeyarwady Region, the event will include 30 exhibition booths. Participants are not only expected from Ayeyarwady but also from other regions such as Yangon and Tanintharyi, he said.

In Myanmar, Ayeyarwady region and Rakhine state contribute to 60 percent of the country's total coconut production, with additional contributions from Mon state and Tanintharyi region, he added. Enditem
