Certainly, our industry faces many challenges. The banking sector in Myanmar is under-developed, infrastructure outside Yangon is nascent and our international product sourcing networks are often smaller than many of our counterparts in other countries. These are serious obstacles to growth, but MGMA is addressing these problems and others with steady determination, organizing capacity building and advocating for policy improvements.

We are now working with several partners & stakeholders, from government policymakers, to international NGOs, to private sector investors, retailers and foreign brands. With our welcoming and industrious culture, highly literate population, and competitive production costs, Myanmar is quickly becoming an extremely attractive location for international garment sourcing.
