YANGON, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's biggest business organization will cooperate with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in food safety practices, the official Global New Light of Myanmar reported Wednesday.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed between the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) and the IFC in Yangon on Tuesday, the two sides will jointly conduct courses, workshops and educative talks with a view to improving food safety practices for exporters, suppliers and processors of Myanmar's agriculture, livestock and fishery and food manufacturing sectors to gain more international markets.
Vice Chair of the UMFCCI U Ye Min Aung said that in a bid to enhance Myanmar's export, grasp more international market shares and maintain them, the country's export products need to guarantee food safety and quality.
Vice Chairman of the Myanmar Fisheries Federation U Hnin Oo also said currently that Myanmar has safety risk management. More awareness campaigns are required.
The UMFCCI has been working with the IFC since November 2017 to improve the sector, the report added.
