A member entrepreneur of the Myanmar Coffee Association (MCA) will take part in the 8th Coffee Expo Seoul next month, according to the Myanmar Trade Promotion Organisation (Myantrade).
The event is due to take place from 5 April (Thursday) to 8 April (Sunday) at Coex Hall A & B in Seoul in the Republic of Korea. It aims to bring together industries dealing with coffee and its related products together under one roof.
Since its launch in 2012, Coffee Expo Seoul has attracted more than 40,000 visitors and buyers, as well as 150 exhibitors worldwide.
The organisers expect the new latest edition to attract more than 45,000 visitors, exhibitors and buyers.
Myanmar’s coffee is a precious crop among its agricultural products. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation said it expected to increase the coffee acreage to 200,000 and export some 60,000 tonnes by 2030.
Domestic exporters are making concerted efforts to penetrate the international market with quality speciality coffee.
Currently, Myanmar coffee is exported to Switzerland, China, Thailand, America, South Korea, Japan, Germany and Hong Kong, among others.
