Myanmar exchanged the least border trade with Bangladesh among its four neighbouring countries in this fiscal year, according to the former’s Ministry of Commerce.
Myanmar’s border trade with four neighbouring countries — China, India, Thailand and Bangladesh —between April 1 and November 11 was worth $2.7 billion, with the border trade with
Bangladesh being only worth around $6 million, reports Myanmar daily Eleven.
The ministry said Myanmar exchanged the most border trade with China, followed by Thailand as the second largest.
During the period, the country traded with Bangladesh through two border trade centres — Sittwe and Maungdaw —receiving just $6.806 million from the border trade, which amounted only 0.2 per cent of the total border trade done in all border trade centres.
Myanmar exported mainly agro-products, minerals, animal products, wood products and industrial products through its border trade centres
with the neighbouring countries and imported consumer products, raw materials and industrial equipment.
