Rubber market to be built in Mawlamyine, Myanmar
Myanmar’s first central rubber market will be built at Mawlamyine in Mon State as authorities seek to help the industry amid low prices and sluggish sales.
Mon State is the country’s top rubber producer and the commodity is considered a “promising export” in Myanmar’s National Export Strategy (NES).
However, local planters have struggled to sell internationally due to issues with quality and falling global prices.
