Malaysia-based multi-level marketing firm, Zhulian Corporation Bhd, is set to begin its Myanmar operations next month, Malaysian media reported. Group Managing Director Teoh Meng Keat said the firm has obtained an import licence from the Myanmar government for its consumer goods to enter the country.
Teoh Meng Keat said Myanmar is touted as the new frontier market amongst emerging countries in terms of the consumer segment and has appointed a local master agent to oversee the business there.
He said due to local laws limiting company ownership, the group will export its products directly to the master agent, who will then sell it to locals.
“We will continue to expand our overseas market to overcome escalating raw material prices, increasing operating costs, stiff market competition and reduced consumer confidence in spending,”
