The 2016 Myanmar International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (MTG 2016), held from June 24 witnessed a substantial turnout of professional visitors. Trade visitors including potential investors came from China, Thailand, Korea, Japan, India, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, and France.

Organised by Yorkers Trade & Marketing Service Co Ltd, the four-day event served as an important trading platform for textile companies from around the world.

“We met many professional buyers here and received many orders from them. It is certainly a best platform for us to expand our business,” a participant said.

Myanmar’s garment industry is currently in expansion mode. Under the Myanmar garment industry 10-year strategy (2015-2024), the country aims to increase its apparel exports to 10 billion US dollar per annum by 2024, up from 1.6 billion US dollar last year.
