Food and nutrition security is a main precursor for economic growth and development of Myanmar. Since private sector is a major player in the agri-food systems, its involvement in the nutrition developing is critical for success in making Myanmar free from malnutrition. As a Myanmar citizen and representative of Unilever for SBN Myanmar, I am aware of the nutrition situation and access food in the country, and I am committed to play active role in maximizing private sector actions through SBN for improved food and nutrition security of the people of Myanmar.

Medical doctor and the director of New A1 Family Company. The company produces high quality spices and culinary products.

The business of food has a great responsibility to deliver greater safe nutritious food for consumers. In line with business responsibility, the policies and regulations should change to discourage the import and local production of unhealthy food and incentivize more local nutritious food. SBN provides a platform for how the private sector and other stakeholders can work together to improve nutrition. In Myanmar, most of the companies are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). They lack technical expertise, and capital and have limited access to capital and certain business services.
