Myanmar coffee sector lures investment from China, Indonesia, Japan, ROK

Investors from China, Indonesia, Japan and the Republic of Korea showed growing interest in the Myanmar coffee production sector, and they are closely observing the investment policies of the Myanmar Coffee Association.

“China, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea are eyeing Myanmar’s coffee production sector for investment due to its significant potential. Myanmar has favourable conditions for coffee production with abundant land resources suitable both for highland and lowland coffee cultivation, and leveraging processing technology to produce premium coffee. Therefore, businesses from China, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea are keen on investing in the sector and studying investment policies,” said an official of the association.

Myanmar Coffee Association is also a member of the ASEAN Coffee Federation, bringing significant benefits to the sector.

Domestic entrepreneurs and local farmers are the primary producers of Myanmar’s raw coffee bean, with an annual production estimated at around 10,000 tonnes of highland and lowland coffee. Myanmar exports approximately 50 per cent of its coffee production, primarily to China and Thailand. A small volume of speciality coffee is conveyed to the United States, Europe, the UAE, Japan, and South Korea.
