The Myanmar government is planning to set up an exclusive textile and garment zone, which will be equipped to produce raw materials, machines and finished products in a single place.
“This was shared by union minister for industry Khin Maung Cho at a meeting held to form a central executive committee of the Myanmar Textile and Garment Entrepreneurs Association,” a statement said.
According to the statement, the minister also urged domestic apparel producers to manufacture products that met global standards and also called on setting up a global standards textile testing laboratory.
The minster was quoted as saying that issuing international-standard certificates would make domestic garment producers more competitive in worldwide markets.
