Seizures of illegal trade volume approximately amounted to K250.176 billion in 12,430 cases up to April 2024.
Vice-Senior General Soe Win highlighted that the International Trade Centre (ITC) showed a trade difference worth US$6-12 billion per year between Myanmar and its trade partners China, Thailand, India, and Japan, proving illegal trade between them.
Chairman of the Illegal Trade Eradication Steering Committee Vice-Chairman of the State Administration Council Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win delivered a speech at the coordination meeting 2/2024 of the steering committee at the hall of the Ministry of Commerce in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday afternoon.
In his speech, the Vice-Senior General said that after reconstituting the steering committee, seizures of illegal trade volume approximately amounted to K250.176 billion in 12,430 cases up to April 2024.
He recounted that, according to the estimation of the UN, global countries lose incomes in various sectors worth more than US$2 trillion in illegal trade yearly, comprising US$30-40 billion worth of agricultural goods in unlawful trade on a yearly basis, adding illegal drugs kills children whereas illegal chemical drugs cause environmental degradation.
He also disclosed that counterfeit commodities trading amounts to some $509 billion per year, accounting for about three per cent of global trading, according to the OECD and WIPO.
The Vice-Senior General noted that surveys showed that some $35 billion worth of counterfeit commodities flow into the ASEAN region yearly, comprising $2.6 billion worth of counterfeit drugs, so the loss of businesses accounted for some US$6 billion.
With regard to seizures in Myanmar, the Vice-Senior General noted that the Customs Department and Mandalay Region stood first for the seizure of smuggled and illegal commodities from February to April 2024, followed by Kachin State, Taninthayi Region. Among them, he continued that unregistered vehicles and illegal commodities were seized as the most enormous volume, followed by intermediate goods and capital goods.
The Vice-Senior General underscored that illegal trade causes a decline in legal export volume and foreign exchange income. Moreover, he continued that the payment of illicit routes causes black markets, causing difficulties in calculating the income and expense of the State and obstacles to adopting the financial and monetary policies. Moreover, it can affect the rule of law process, trigger corruption of service personnel and harm administrative mechanisms, he added.
He instructed officials of one-stop service (OSS) and special task forces to effectively deter and seize illegal import and export goods in accord with the law.
In conclusion, the Vice-Senior General urged the steering committee and special task forces from regions and states to join hands with the government in totally eradicating illegal trade, as illegal trade brings direct loss to consumers as well as businesspeople.
Officials reported on the accomplishment of the meeting 1/2024 of the steering committee and letters to the meeting 2/2024, whereas Deputy Chief of Myanmar Police Force Police Maj-Gen Aung Naing Thu clarified criteria and supervision process for companies which will import restricted chemical materials.
Vice-Chairman of the Steering Committee Union Minister Lt-Gen Yar Pyae and steering committee member Union Minister U Tun Ohn discussed reviews over illegal trade, taking action for seizures of narcotic drugs, restricted chemicals, vehicles, fuel oil, foodstuffs, medicines and cosmetics under the law, comparison between export and import commodities, commodity flows, e-lock system and illegal online sales of goods.
Then, decisions drafted in the meeting were read. The Vice-Senior General coordinated all discussions. — MNA/TTA

Myanmar ships over 20 MT of honey to Japan, South Korea in April
Myanmar conveyed 20.6 metric tons of honey valued at US$0.031 million to Japan and South Korea in April of the current financial year 2024-2025, according to the Apiculture Division under the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department.
Myanmar’s honey exports to Japan reached 20.1 metric tons worth $30,150, while 0.5 metric tons worth $750 were exported to South Korea.
Myanmar primarily exports honey to China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, the US, and Singapore. Myanmar delivered over 2,200 metric tons of honey to foreign trade partners in FY 2023-2024 (April-March), the Apiculture Division’s data showed.
Sagaing and Mandalay regions are the leading producers of Myanmar’s honey. Myanmar’s beekeeping businesses are also found in the Yangon, Bago, and Magway regions, as well as the Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, and Shan states. Myanmar produces sesame honey, jujube honey, niger honey, sunflower honey, lychee honey, and flower honey.
Myanmar’s honey production is estimated at over 4,000 metric tonnes annually. Sixty percent went to foreign markets, while the remainder was designated for domestic consumption.
Honey is utilized as a traditional medicine in the country. Myanmar’s honey fetches $2,500–$3,000 per tonne in the external market.
There are some state-owned beekeeping stations with 6,200 beehives in 31 townships and over 950 private beekeeping businesses operating with nearly 200,000 beehives.
Moreover, two million acres of crops contribute to bee pollination every year. The beekeeping businesses near the crop fields contribute to the successful yield of the crop as well as quality bee production. — NN/EM

Myanmar’s Seintalone and Shwehinthar mangoes gain regular market share in Chinese market
Seintalone and Shwehinthar mangoes produced from Myanmar are gaining a regular market share in the Chinese market, according to a fruit trader at the border.

Of the mangoes exported via the Mongla-Tarlaw route, a case of good quality Seintalone costs 90–120 yuan, and that of Shwehinthar is priced at 80–100 yuan in the Chinese market.

“At present, we are exporting Seintalone and Shwehinthar mangoes. They have a market with buyers. The price is not bad,” he said.

About 700 metric tons of these mangoes have been exported to China since April, he added.
Despite the market share of Myanmar’s mangoes in China this year, overhead costs, including transport charges, have been rising, while challenges such as export routes and costs need to be taken into account in advance, so only the high-quality mangoes should be exported more, he suggested.

“We can’t eat all the locally produced mangoes. So, we export them, and it seems that a new market has developed. For example, if we buy mangoes to export, we may suffer losses. But, if a farmer exports the mangoes produced on his farm, the monetization will be quick. Early Seintalone can fetch a good price in domestic market, but in the long run, people cannot afford to buy it as many other ripe mangoes will enter the market,” he said.
