Livestock Myanmar is being jointly held with FPP-Myanmar - a one-stop event for food from
farm to fork. The shows will take place under one roof, offering gateway to the quality, efficiency and sustainability of the food value chain.
Because food production starts on the farm, livestock management is a huge factor in food quality and safety. It is hoped this partnership will add to the practical appeal of both shows.
Dr. Khin Zaw, Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department deputy general director said the government was pleased to strongly support Livestock Myanmar 2014 Expo and thanked UBM and all participants for contributing to the ongoing development of Myanmar’s livestock and allied industries. “Being a comprehensive and international trade show that covers the entire value chain from farm to fork, it is the ideal platform to stimulate interest in business opportunities and technology transfer in Myanmar. We encourage cooperation and investment to contribute to accelerating our economic and social development. Myanmar has the potential to become a regional force in agriculture – the best is yet to come” he said.
