Myanmar earned nine percent more from clothing exports between April and September compared with the same months a year earlier. Daw Khaing Khaing Nwe from the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry reported the increase. The garment industry ranks as the nation's leading export earner alongside farm products and contributes substantially to gross domestic product.
Factories produce apparel through cutting, making and packaging arrangements for buyers in European Union nations, Japan, South Korea, the United States and China. The Myanmar Garment Manufacturing Association collaborates with partner organizations to transition from contract manufacturing to fully integrated production operations. Manufacturers also assemble electronic devices, shoes, handbags, wigs, lenses and cameras under similar contract terms.
