Myanmar maize export to commence on 1 Feb under zero duty
Myanmar will resume zero-tariff maize exports to Thailand from February 1 to August 31 under Form-D rules. Exports, routed via maritime channels, generate over $500 million annually, with 65% of production exported, supporting more than one million acres of maize farming nationwide.
Myanmar’s maize export to Thailand with zero-tariff benefit will restart on 1 February, according to the Myanmar Corn Industrial Association.
Thailand gives green light for maize imports under zero tariff (with Form-D), between 1 February and 31 August. Myanmar ships maize to Thailand through the Yangon-Bangkok, Kawthoung-Ranong and Tachilek-Meisai maritime routes. The Myawady trade channel that was previously used is currently suspended.
Maize export annually generates over US$500 million. There are over one million acres of maize farms across the country. Domestic consumption accounts for 35 per cent of total production, and the remaining 65 per cent is designated for exports.
Maize exports amounted to over $500 million in the 2023-2024 financial year, over $400 million in the 2024-2025 financial year, and over 400 million so far in the current 2025-2026 financial year.
