Myanmar’s fish boom reels in $200m as exports surge

Myanmar hauled in over $200 million from seafood shipments totaling more than 165,000 metric tonnes across the opening seven months of its current budget cycle, with maritime routes accounting for roughly $132 million while overland border crossings generated $69 million in revenue. The Southeast Asian nation's fisheries sector targets forty international markets spanning China, Thailand, Bangladesh and Japan through an export pipeline moving hilsa, rohu, catfish, seabass, eel, shrimp and crab.

The Department of Fisheries oversees cold storage infrastructure comprising 140-plus facilities that support the trade, which previously recorded $421 million in annual sales across 400,000 tonnes during the preceding financial year.
