Myanmar - Burma sets parboiled rice export goal of 300,000 tons

The Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF) says 11 new factories will increase the export of parboiled rice tenfold. This financial year, only around 30,000 tons was exported, the low figure due to infrastructure limits, the MRF says. “We are building 10 factories, and each will produce 100 tons per day,” said MRF chairman Chit Khine. “Seven of those are close to completion. Myanmar Economic Holdings have completed the 11th factory, with a 250 ton per day production capacity.
