3.6 Myanmar Additional Services | Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments

Overview

Myanmar’s economic growth expected to continue and the retail and wholesale sector is likely to continue to expand.. However, the Myanmar retail sector is still highly fragmented with more than 90% of its business being carried out by traditional family-run small stores. 70% of the population of Myanmar live in rural areas (2014 Myanmar census), with mostly access to market stands and individually/family owned stores that have a limited selection of products. Most consumers in urban areas still rely on wet markets and traditional grocery shops for their food needs, although modern retail market continues to grow in the country.

The retail sector does not offer or use credit since the collapse of 2003 banking crisis in the country. According to a survey conducted by Visa Myanmar, only half of Myanmar urban consumers are aware of credit cards[1] since its reintroduction to the market in 2016. Poor infrastructure and high transport costs negatively impact the price of local food crops since smallholder farmers have limited transport options and market access as they live in remote rural areas. They normally sell their harvests to local brokers or small traders that has better transport means and collect the paddy to their mills. Old milling equipment that is still being used also contributes to low quality broken rice.

Department of Agriculture under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation is supporting the farmer in Bago and Ayeyarwaddy regions in term of agricultural cultivation development, water saving technology, soil management and so on. INGO/NGO such as IRRI, Lutheran World Federation, Metta Development Foundation are also supporting the farmer in different areas.

Retail Sector

According to USDA report dated 2018, traditional trade dominates the market with 90% share and about 10% for modern trade. Traditional trade consists of wholesale traders selling to small retail shops and modern trade through large supermarkets. The market share of modern trade is expected to growth 25% in 2020 (https://apps.fas.usda.gov/newgainapi/api/report/downloadreportbyfilename?filename=Retail%20Foods_Rangoon_Burma%20-%20Union%20of_9-21-2018.pdf). The importers, wholesalers and distributors are the major sourcing channel for the retailer. Large retailers such as City Mart and Capital have their own import unit that can source large volumes of products from overseas especially toiletry and fabric products. Other products such as snacks and beverages sources from wholesalers/local manufacturers and distributors like Premium distribution, Pahtama Group, Unilever, Nestle, DKSH, Grand Twin Brothers, etc. However, for fresh food they source locally through wholesaler, traders and small-scale supplier. Foods are often imported from Singapore, Malaysia, China and Thailand via Yangon Port and borders.

In the case of rice, Myanmar has different variety of rice produced in different states/regions at different timeline. Myanmar itself is listed as the top eighth global rice exporter in 2019. There is no significant impact on sourcing shortage on the retailers regardless of the events. However, some imported products may lead to seasonal price increase especially in April (Myanmar New Year period) and in December (New Year period).

Main Food Suppliers

Locally produced rice, beans and pulses are generally available in the local market. Rice is the main staple food consumed in Myanmar. Corn and wheat-based food products are less consumed. 50% of Corn are produce in Shan State in the eastern part of country and 14 % in Sagain region in the central part of country. The rest are produced in Ayeyarwady region. Popularity of instant noodles, such as Yum Yum, Ma Ma and Wai Wai brands, has been growing. Emergency food package of Department of Disaster Management (DDM) also include the instant noodles.

Key agricultural products produced locally and for exportation are rice, beans and pulses. Fortified edible oil, such as used by World Food Programme, cannot be procured in Myanmar due to low production rate and high local consumption. Myanmar imported 70% of edible oil mostly from Malaysia and Indonesia yearly[3]. Ready to Eat products and fortified high-energy biscuits for the humanitarian sector are not commonly available. Fortified Corn Soya Blend (CSB or Super Cereal) cannot be found on the local market. Rice Soya Blend (RSB) is produced locally by United New Generation company (any website for United New Generation can be inserted here).

Accommodation

Hotel accommodation and housing can be found easily but at higher cost as in neighboring East Asian countries. In the tourist high season (November to February) there can be a shortage of hotel rooms, especially in Yangon. Housing can be found through real estate agents and brokers. However, there are several hotels that most UN agencies and international organizations recommend for their visitors. These hotels, to the extent possible, can be assumed to have met safety and security standards that are observed by the respective international agencies. The hotels are listed below by locations:

Additional Operational Support

Humanitarian support items (non-food items) such as tents, water pumps, pipes, water tanks, jerry cans, blankets, plastic sheeting, office furniture, cooking utensils are readily available on the local market to meet local demand. This allows humanitarian organizations to source locally via long-term agreements and reduce lead-time. Specific items, such as blankets and plastic sheeting, are locally produced. But other items, such as tents, jerry cans and buckets may be imported from China, India, or Thailand due to competitive price and quality. In case of emergencies, locally available humanitarian support items would probably be exhausted quickly, which may require aid agencies to source regionally from suppliers in the neighboring countries, mainly China and India.
