YANGON: Myanmar's garment exports increased by nine per cent in the first half of the 2025-2026 fiscal year, starting from April 1, compared to the same period last year, the state-owned daily The Global New Light of Myanmar reported on Wednesday (Oct 22).

Myanmar's top-earning sectors include garments and agricultural produce, with the garment industry leading the export sector, it said.

The country's garment enterprises operate under the Cutting, Making, and Packaging (CMP) system, it added.

In addition to garments, CMP operations produce electronic appliances, footwear, bags, wigs, lenses and cameras, the report said.

The Myanmar Garment Manufacturers Association and related organisations are exerting concerted efforts to transform from the CMP system to a full production model in the country, it added. - Xinhua
