THE Myanmar Rice Federation (MRF) said that in addition to regular rice and broken rice export, it is planning to export rice transformed into value-added products.

“Rather than conventional rice export, we are planning to value-added products such as rice powder and rice noodle,” said MRF President U Ye Min Aung.

Furthermore, the MRF is promoting the production, export and domestic consumption of bran oil as well as sales of deoiled rice bran in the domestic market. The MRF held a meeting with the Global Issue Forum in South Korea after informing entrepreneurs through the connection by the Economic Counsellor on 8 July, and discussed the possibility of cooperating in the production of dry and wet rice noodles using Korean technology.

According to a statement by the MRF, Myanmar exported 614,705 tonnes of rice and broken rice in the first quarter of the financial year 2025-2026, earning US$214 million.
