CP, in collaboration with "Charoen Pokphand Produce (CPP)" and "Bangkok Produce (BKP)," announces its partnership with the "Myanmar Corn Industrial Association (MCIA)" to introduce a traceability system for corn used as animal feed. This system will be available to all sectors, including producers and partners, enhancing sustainability and transparency in the industry using world-class technology. The initiative reinforces CP’s policy of "no purchase or import of animal feed corn from deforested or burnt areas."

Yangon, Myanmar – October 24, 2024 Charoen Pokphand Group (CP), through Charoen Pokphand Produce (CPP) and Bangkok Produce (BKP), has joined forces with public and private sector partners in Myanmar to launch a traceability system for corn produced by CP for animal feed. This system will be available to producers, partners, and relevant organizations across the supply chain, marking a significant step toward sustainability in Myanmar’s corn industry. A press conference was held in Yangon to announce the project, which includes a pledge not to purchase corn from areas affected by burning or deforestation.

The event took place under the Myanmar Corn Traceability Project, and notable attendees included Mr. Mongkol Visittsthumph, Thai Ambassador to Myanmar; Mr. Akwat Thanaprasitpattan, Minister Counsellor (Commercial) in Yangon; Mr. Titi Lujintanon, Chief Executive Officer of CP’s Feed Ingredients Business; Mr. Worrasit Sithiwichai, Chief Operating Officer of Myanmar’s Integrated Crop Business; Mr. U Aye Chan Aung, President of the Myanmar Corn Industrial Association (MCIA); as well as many Myanmar corn farmers from areas such as Naung Taya, Shan State, and Mandalay, among others. The project has garnered support from both Thai and Myanmar participants, all expressing their intent to use the traceability system to foster transparency and sustainability in the Myanmar corn industry.
