MRF to sell rice at reduced prices for donors supporting flood-hit communities

MYANMAR Rice Federation (MRF) will sell Pawsan and Ae­mahta rice bags at much fairer prices to those philanthropists who would like to donate rice in flood-stricken areas, according to its announcement dated 14 September.

MRF raised crowdfunding with a capital of K100 million to help rural communities affected by floods and called donors to acquire voluntary contributions or other resources. MRF and affiliated associations will do­nate immediate aid like rice bags to civil service organizations, philanthropic non-profit organ­izations, and those in charge of temporary shelters, doing so­cial work and rescue activities in flood-stricken areas.

Additionally, MRF will sup­port pedigree seeds and cultiva­tion inputs to help farmers who suffered damage recover from flood damage.

Those individuals who want to join MRF’s funding can contact the MRF through the phone number 09 400067250, 09 400067260 and email: eo@mrf. com.mm. — NN/KK
