Transport hurdles may cut Seintalone mango market share this year
EXPORTING of Myanmar's Seintalone mango
to China has faced transport barriers, and the market share for the fruit will
likely decline if the export is unable to be completed this year, said traders.
Despite being offered a good price in
the domestic market, the supply is likely to be greater than the demand when
the production peaks, warned a trader.
If the fruits are unable to export in
this year's export season, there is a possibility of losing the market share
and mangoes from other countries will dominate the market, instead, he said.
Seintalone mangoes produced from
Mandalay Region are being exported to China through Mongla, making more
expenses plus delays along the journey, he said and added that it takes a day
to travel from Kunming, Mangshi to Ruili, making the fruit unattractive to
fetch a good price.
In the domestic market, Seintalone is
the most popular mango and the trade as well as the price is fine. — MT/ZS
