Around 20 Myanmar containers with marine products are still stranded at Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah port while the Saudi Arabia Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) makes arrangements to approve a list of Myanmar fisheries factories from where the products were processed, according to U Ye Min, a Central Executive Committee member of the Myanmar Fisheries Federation. The goods have been at the port since October 13, when Saudi Arabia seized around 30 unregistered containers loaded with US$80,000 worth of Myanmar fisheries products each. This year, only Ywar Thar Gyi Cold Store, one of 19 cold storage factories from Myanmar which applied for registration, was approved by Saudi authorities. On October 15, the SFDA approved Twin Brothers Seafood Cold Storage, Mega Marine Frozen Seafood and Delta Queen International Co.
