European buyers keen about Myanmar’s plastic bags

Some European buyers have expressed their interest to import plastic shopping bags from Myanmar, according to local company.

“Some buyers came here and discussed with us about importing plastic bags. They need shopping bags,” said Hla Win, managing director of Lucky Bird which produces plastic bags.

He however pointed out that local companies do not have the skilled workers, electricity and plants at this moment to meet the demand of the buyers.

Lucky Bird is now in talks with some Japanese companies for exporting plastic bags. On December 3, the company dispatched 13 tonnes plastic bags to Japan, which will be used for wrapping kitchen utensils, sources said.

“If they like the quality, the Japanese companies will order shopping bags and big packs. We sent them our samples thrice and they liked the quality,” said Hla Win.
