The head of the Shan State Department of Agriculture also detailed Myanmar’s annual avocado exports, import requirements of key potential markets including China, India, Russia, and Middle East countries, as well as the quality standards Myanmar avocados must meet to align with European benchmarks.

THE Myanmar Fruits, Flower and Vegetable Producer and Exporter Association (MFVP) stated that all stakeholders in the supply chain need to exert the concerted efforts for avocado export designated to China in October.

On 19 July 2025, the Agriculture Department (southern Shan State) held a workshop for growers on raising awareness of Customs inspection and safety regulations of the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC), in cooperation with the Myanmar Avocado Producer and Exporter Association (MAVO).

Farm owners need to cooperate in testing six common insects to export avocados to China, said U Kyaw Soe, secretary of the MAVO.

MAVO’s chair set up a farmer public company, eyeing Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for avocado export this season. The association will help expedite imports of agricultural inputs such as fertilizer and pesticide, along with member growers. The head of the Shan State Department of Agriculture also elaborated on annual avocado export, avocado import conditions of potential markets such as China, India, Russia and Middle East countries and Myanmar avocado quality requirements in line with the European Standard.

U Ye Lin Oo, a grower, also discussed plant nutrient management in the presence of growers and business entities. Farm owners also vowed to boost exports. — NN/KK
