The Myanmar Trade Promotion Organization under the Ministry of Commerce will open a Myanmar Trade Center in Hainan, China in April this year in order to boost Myanmar’s value-added products export to China.
The center is being jointly implemented by the Myanmar Trade Promotion Organization and Globe Shenzhen Co., Ltd., which will sell samples of the value-added products exported by Myanmar. Globe Shenzhen Co., Ltd. is an e-commerce company approved by the Chinese government.
The center will provide a platform for displaying and selling Myanmar’s value-added products for things like agriculture, foods, jade, handicrafts and souvenirs.
“We will post in on our website for Myanmar’s businessmen. We will also inform organizations and there will be no limitations, but if your products are no good, then it is unlikely they will sell out. Therefore, businessmen need to mind the quality to create market for their products. There will be also no limitations on number of products. They will just need to send us samples,’’ said Dr. Thet Lwin Oo, Economic Counsellor of Myanmar in China.
The center is Globe Shenzhen’s first step in collaboration to promote Myanmar’s value-added products, and it will also work with other countries.
“There will be no charge for exhibiting products at the center. What we need from is the will to exhibit their products. Globe Shenzhen will take responsibility for selling the products through a cross-border E-commerce system. Sellers are not required to have FDA or AQSIQ certificates, but they need to meet the requirements set forth by Myanmar. Under Cross Border E-commerce, you store the products yourself, and sells them by showcasing samples at the center. If the customers like the products, then they will order it through the online shop,” Dr. Thet Lwin Oo said.
“It is a great opportunity to exhibit our products abroad and we are interested in it. Because, it is hard to individually set up a shop there. Having the chance to exhibit our products at the place implemented by the Ministry of Commerce, international customers will know our products,’’ said Daw Lei Lei Oo, a local exporter.
