Myanmar-German Business Entrepreneurs Association held a conference on foodstuff processing, beverage production, packaging and machines at the meeting hall of Mandalay Region Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry on September 10.

At the conference, foodstuff entrepreneurs, and live stock breeding and agriculture entrepreneurs discussed packaging and market situations. Meat production was also discussed at livestock breeding sector. Market opportunities have been found in the meat production sector, but law expresses restrictions. Those present discussed sales and export as well.

"For example in poultry farming, the farmers bred hundreds of chickens in the past. Now, they are breeding tens of thousands of chicken. They need many machines. Packaging types are changing in the market, but not reached an encouraging level yet. Restrictions have been found in the meat production sector. There are many chances of exporting meat to foreign markets, but the poultry farmers can't enjoy good price due to unnecessary laws," said Dr Kyaw Htin of Mandalay Region Livestock Breeding Federation.

Now mangoes are being exported to foreign countries. Later mangoes are changed into value-added products and exported to foreign countries, but weaknesses are found in the packaging process.

The conference was jointly organized by Myanmar-German Business Entrepreneurs Association and German Industrial Engineering Association.
