UMFCCI is planning to form an e-commerce association in order to organize and help online shops and SMEs

With the aim of organizing and helping online shops and SMEs, the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry is planning to form an e-commerce association.

“Now, we are conducting online training. The Ministry of Commerce is also helping the e-commerce sector to grow so that SMEs can do e-commerce when they wish. Our federation is planning to organize an e-commerce association,’’ U Zaw Min Win, President of UMFCCI, said.

The e-commerce sector needs to be monitored and organized because of the numerous reports that online shops are not delivering the ordered items, or even delivering different items than the customer ordered.

“Some products are produced using chemical substances that are harmful for the human skin. We have requested the authorities to take action on the illegal products or unapproved products sold through online shops,’’ U Kyaw Min, President of Myanmar Cosmetics Association, said.

Since the government has not taken action against those who are doing illegal and parallel sales through online shops, the online market is continuing to see illegal sales which is causing losses to the country. Once the government acts in accordance with the consumer protection law then e-commerce can be regulated allowing growth in all sectors.
