Project Description
Headquartered in Yangon and established in 1995, Myanma Awba Group Company Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries “Awba” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of crop protection products (including herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides), fertilizers and seeds in Myanmar. Together with these inputs, Awba provides farmers with extension services to enhance crop output, profitability and livelihoods. Awba’s approximately 1,000-strong sales and marketing team are all trained agronomists with technical expertise, which helped Awba to establish its market leadership. In addition to this core business, Awba has also started a microfinance business. In order to continue its expansion, Awba now plans to invest in a new agro chemicals formulation plant, additional bottling/packaging and warehouse capacity, seed production, working capital as well as the growth of its microfinance operations.
