members in the relevant business sector and register

 2nd group selected
- Mango group
- Macamidia group (they are also looking for Exporter
since they are also producers and suppliers to domestic
24
market.)
Outcomes

for export consortia which will be coached to form and
register as Export Consortia within two months.
25
Outcomes
- The output of the National
workshop is Mango group
export consortia from
Mandalay region )
26
Challenges
Come from participants
- Most of SME are ’ t understand the meaning of SMEs
cluster very well (to build HRD)
- Need to company set up registration and export license
- Can’t supply market demand for export
(Although they have Export market )
market )
- lack of Finance
- lack of Technology (Need to upgrade the products to
meet international standard)
27
Challenges
-Problems that might arise due to the organization or management
of the consortium
- Lack of trust
- Members may be reluctant to engage whole heartedly
- Conflicts arise for financial contribution
- Since all firms have their own agenda, many of the decisions taken
within the consortium will involve the degree of compromise
between the members
- Members achieve different export result, tension may arise
-On the quality control, member may perceive this as an intrusion
into their autonomy
- Members may have difficulty to agree on an external candidate for
the position of Executive Director.
28
Lesson learned
• Lectures with power point presentation and
Native language enabled the participants to
follow up the discussion more effectively.
• Sharing CD for Lectures with power point
presentation to support the participants when
they want to learn after workshop.
• Programme schedule should not be too tight.
29
Recommendation
-Support is key for the start-up and development of export
consortia but it should be limited to a period of time.
-It should be taken into account that the needs of consortia
are not the same in all stages of their life cycle.
- Since the key factor for successful cooperation is the
ability to communicate and interact, support to consortia
should be oriented to the creation of conditions to make
communications and interactions frequent and easy.

Way Forward
 National Workshop brings together individuals with complementary
knowledge and skill in order to find innovative solutions to their
problems big or small.
 National Workshop takes collaboration to a whole new level by
connecting them with new partners in the real world
 Myanmar government is now conducted political reforms and national
reconsolidation with might and main. Government has started the
reform strategy and it gives special focus on SME development, and
also will increase the ratio of private ownership.
 These movement will also promote the SME sectors and will develop
the formation of Export Consortia. In this situation SME can face their
business counterparts when AEC occurs in 2015.
