China’s state-owned financial services firm CITIC and the Myanmar Rice Federation are partnering to conduct a feasibility study for a plan to establish 33 agricultural business centres in ten states in Myanmar, industry website dealstreetasia reported on 30 July.
The project is estimated to cost $400 million and aims to provide a one-stop service for farmers in the country, said Dr SoeTun, vice chairman of Myanmar Rice Federation.
