During 2022-23 avocado harvest season, Over 24,000 tons of avocados were produced including 4,000 tons to export and over 20,000 tons for local consumption.
In Myanmar, the avocado season begins from November to February. Myanmar avocado volumes are exported mainly to the Thailand and export officially to Malaysia.
General Secretary, Myanmar Avocado Producer and Exporter Association, Kyaw Soe Min, said " In Myanmar, avocados are grown mainly in Shan South, PyinOoLwin in Mandalay Region, Naung Cho, Lasho in Northern Shan State. Chin, Naga, Myitkyina have cultivated avocados later. We started cultivating in 2016 and officially imported the species from California in 2018 as we aim to export to other countries. We produce about 4000 tons of avocados this year that targeted to export to abroad. We mainly cultivate Hass avocado. And then, our country soil condition give us a chance to grow Hass species."
Myanmar Avocado Producer and Exporter Association participated in the France and Thai trade fairs and got a lot of contacts during fairs. There are some facts to follow to do exports- for example, weakness of farm infrastructure. That prevents to export to the countries that need long journey and taking times. As a solution, the export to neighboring countries is carried out. Currently, 90 percent of the avocado is exported to Thailand. Spain, Dubai, Middle East countries, Singapore, India also place the orders. I want to say if we all participate together in the production of avocado processes, we can show off Myanmar produced avocado to the world.
Myanmar Avocado Producer and Exporter Association invited to participated in the production of avocado to show off Myanmar produced avocado to the world.
