These countries have billions of dollars worth of convenience food entering the Chinese market every year. There are also foods from Europe, the United States, South Africa and Canada.

China is Myanmar’s main trading partner, and currently exports to China include agricultural products, fruits, aquatic products and natural resources. In the 10 months of this fiscal year, the total export trade volume was more than 13 billion U.S. dollars, of which more than 4 billion U.S. dollars was exported to China through shipping and border trade ports. Snacks such as Myanmar cashew nuts, palm sugar, peanut butter, biscuits, and convenience foods such as coffee beans and coffee powder with a long shelf life, as well as condiments and beverages, can all enter the Chinese retail market.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce of Myanmar said that exports to China accounted for 30% of Myanmar's foreign trade. China is an important export market for Myanmar. In order to allow more Myanmar food to enter China, new markets are being explored through embassies and consulates in China; Ye Min Maung, secretary-general of the Myanmar Food Exporters Association, said that for Myanmar food to enter the Chinese market, it is necessary not only to improve the packaging of goods, but also to improve the quality and safety of the food. To meet international GMP standards, the production chain must obtain relevant certifications. If the food quality is not up to standard, it is not the exporter that will be affected, but the reputation of the Myanmar product. Most of Myanmar's food processors are small and medium-sized enterprises, and there are few large-scale enterprises, and only 30% can meet international production standards. At present, the export foods include sesame oil, sesame cake, frozen vegetables, dried mango, tea, coffee, etc.
