Foreign investors to set up garment units in Myanmar

The Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) has received expression of interest to set up garment factories in the South East Asian country from apparel manufacturers in South Korea and Hong Kong. MIC is now in the process of allocating land to these companies and is discussing potential locations with regional governments in Yangon and Bago.

This interest closely follows the US decision to offer benefits under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programme from November 13, 2016. Myanmar is a least developed country (LDC) and will now be able to export approximately 5,000 products to the US duty-free under this programme.

“The talks with the investors are still at the discussion stage and we will give land to them for factories, which is most likely to be in Yangon and Bago, where there are jetties,” committee secretary Aung Naing Oo was quoted as saying by Myanmar Media.

According to the Myanmar Garment Entrepreneurs Association (MGEA), Myanmar has 400 garment manufacturing units, which together employ more than 350,000 workers.

缅甸投资委员会（MIC）已收到来自韩国和香港服装制造商对在东南亚国家建立服装厂表示感兴趣的意愿书。MIC现在为这些公司分配土地，并于地方政府在仰光和勃固讨论潜在的位置。

这种兴趣密切遵循了美国决定于2016年11月13日起向缅甸提供普遍优惠制(GSP)计划。缅甸是一个最不发达国家(LDC)之一,根据该计划，现在缅甸将能够免税向美国出口约5000种产品。

“与投资者的谈话仍在商讨阶段，我们将为他们的工厂提供土地，最有可能在仰光和勃固，那里有码头，”委员会秘书Aung Naing Oo的话被缅甸媒体引用说。

根据缅甸服装企业家协会(MGEA),缅甸已经有400家服装制造单位,雇用超过350000名员工。
