Myanmar Golden Phoenix News] According to the Myeongda Comprehensive Economic Enterprise Cooperative the cooperative processes and hulls locally produced sesame seeds before exporting them abroad. The annual export volume is approximately 3,000 tons, generating an annual income exceeding 7 billion kyats. It is understood that sesame seeds are not exported as raw materials, but rather processed into finished products, thus allowing them to obtain better prices. Currently, they are exported to several Southeast Asian countries, with China, Thailand, and Singapore being the main export markets. To produce finished sesame products, Magway Region not only purchases sesame seeds from its own area but also sources them from other states and regions. The sesame seeds are then hulled, cleaned, and dried. The processed sesame products are packaged in sizes of 20 kg, 25 kg, and 30 kg and exported to international markets through the cooperative's branch office in Yangon.
