THE Myanmar Edible Oil Dealers and Entrepreneurs Association has reported receiving up to 100,000 daily orders for cooking oil (palm oil) through their call centre. Approximately 6,000 house­holds benefit from a door-to-door delivery service each day.

 

“To provide convenience for workers in industrial zones, we have introduced a door-to-door cooking oil delivery sys­tem,” said U San Lin, Chair­man of the association. “The system has proven effective during the trial period, ensur­ing direct distribution to con­sumers. For others, we use an oil purchase booklet system to ensure smooth access, which has also been highly efficient”.

 

The delivery service ca­ters to about 6,000 households daily, reaching up to 150,000 households monthly.

 

This door-to-door system, launched on 31 July 2024, is supervised by the Yangon Region Government in col­laboration with the Yangon Region Consumer Affairs Department and the Myan­mar Edible Oil Dealers and Entrepreneurs Association. It aims to support households struggling to access cooking oil shops and provides a con­venient and quick delivery solution. — ASH/TMT
