Singapore Minister National Development Khaw Boon Wan said his
ministry is particularly hopeful of Myanmar becoming a good food
source.
The minister was quoted by local press as saying that his
ministry was working closely with the local food industry to diversify
food sources.
Khaw said the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority
(AVA) will facilitate partnerships between Singaporean farmers and
Myanmar supply chain partners.
Through more exchanges and transfer
of technical expertise from the AVA, Myanmar farmers will, over time,
be able to increase their food exports to Singapore , the minister
added.
According to the National Development Minister,
Singaporeans can expect to see more vegetables and seafood from
Myanmar.-VNA
