Myanmar to meet Turkish olive oil.

Under the "specific nature of delegations program", organized under the coordination of the Union of Exporters of Cereals, Pulses and Oilseeds, a group of 11 importing companies of Myanmar, "Gulf Group of companies", was traveled to Izmir to meet with olive and exporters of Turkish olive oil, with B2B meetings organized by the Union of Exporters Aegeans.

Representatives of this group explained that it is currently palm oil, (poor dietary quality,) which is mainly used in this country and they want to familiarize the consumer of Myanmar with olive oil.

During the 2014/15 season, Turkey exported product with a value of about 90,000 US dollars but, as highlighted by the Chairman of the Governing Board of Aegean Exporters of olives and olive oil, this country is a virgin market of 50 million people which can have excellent trade opportunities.

The visit of this delegation should be only the start of commercial relations between Turkey and Myanmar, which will be intensified by a series of Turkish promotion activities.
