E MPLOYEES from ministries, families, students, local people from all over the country, and MSME entrepreneurs flocked to the Union-Level MSME Product Exhibition and Competition at Tabaung Ground yesterday to commemorate the 78th Union Day, as it was the last day of the exhibition, coinciding with a holiday.

Officials at each booth provided explanations and answered questions about local products to visitors from various regions and states, including the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area. Due to the large number of attendees, some local products were sold out.

Similarly, the product showrooms of the manufacturing cooperative societies, the Ministry of Industry, the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), the Myanmar Economic Holdings Public Company Limited, and the Myanmar Oil Millers Association sold food products and consumer goods at special prices, attracting large crowds of buyers.

Local and traditional foods from various regions and states were sold at low prices at ethnic food stalls, drawing large crowds of buyers and consumers, which led to a shortage of these ethnic traditional foods.

During the exhibition, the Ministry of Commerce’s booth distributed rice, oil, and chickpeas daily. Yesterday, many festival-goers were seen lining up to receive them.

On the final day of the exhibition, MSME entrepreneurs were making efforts to connect with domestic and foreign markets, attract investment, and access one-stop services from relevant ministries for the development of MSME businesses.

In the evening, artistes from MRTV and the Department of Fine Arts performed a variety of popular songs, providing a peaceful and enjoyable experience for visitors. The audience was seen participating in the event both individually and in groups, enjoying the atmosphere.
