Effective waste treatment and recycling are crucial for improving sustainability in Myanmar’s agrifood sector. By adopting advanced waste management practices, MSMEs can reduce their environmental footprint while transforming waste into valuable resources. Agricultural by-products like rice husks, food scraps, and organic waste can be repurposed into organic fertilizers, animal feed, or bioenergy, offering economic and environmental benefits. Waste treatment technologies, such as wastewater treatment plants and composting systems, help businesses meet regulatory standards while contributing to a cleaner environment.
Production of waste-to-value products from the enormous amount of agricultural waste in Myanmar, by implementing innovative systems will help the agribusiness sector of Myanmar manage waste more effectively and reduce disposal costs, apart from creating valuable products.
RBF+ is inviting Agrifood MSMEs and Agri-input MSMEs interested in investing in Waste Treatment & Recycling technologies to benefit from RBF+ grant support up to MMK 200 million per project.
