New Year’s days buffeted by destruction of rice at Cote d’Ivoire
At a time when Myanmar’s traditional new year begins and Myanmar farmers are preparing to harvest rice grown this summer, the news of the destruction of 18,000 tons of Myanmar rice deemed ‘unfit for consumption’ at Cote d’Ivoire has caused concerns among merchants, organizations and authorities. The public is also paying much attention, because rice from Myanmar is exported, even to EU countries, without difficulties regarding its quality.
