The export flow of millet grains to Thailand from the Myanmar-Thailand border trade camp in Myawaddy has  stopped as of August 31.

The Chairperson of Myawaddy border trade association Thin Thin Myat said she will find diplomatic answers to resume the export.

"A meeting was held at the border trade camp inviting directors of the trade camp, district administrators and millet grains traders in September 2. Data will be collected on the grains at the camp and find ways to export  millet grains to Thailand," said Thin Thin Myat, Chairperson of Myawaddy border trade association.

About 100,000 tons of millet grains are at the Myawaddy border trade camp. As there were natural disasters and transportation difficulties, we couldn't export it according to the target date. Therefore, millet grain  merchants face hardship to export them.

She continued in saying that  whole-sales  centers in Thailand such as CP and Vitaco said the demand for millet grains are very high in Thailand. We will request recommendations from big companies through Ministry of Commerce. So, I think there is hope for exporting these millet grains left at the trade camp.

Thailand has stopped importing of millet grains from Myanmar since September 1.
