So, quality iron products will be manufactured. At present, private iron foundries of industrial zones are manufacturing their products through conventional methods, he said. Without meeting the set standards of raw materials, without making full use of catalysts and without systematic quality control, the products have not been in good demand and they have to be used only in local market, he noted.
Therefore, cooperative efforts should be made to improve the standard of iron smelting industry. And arrangements are to be made to complete the project of modern foundries in the three industrial zones. In connection with the modern foundries, a modern mould workshop will also be established. So, iron products can be manufactured not only for local market but also for export, he added. All in all, the Secretary-1 said, with the products with the firm local and foreign market, Myanma industry will develop significantly. Based on modern foundries, measures are to be taken for manufacturing of farm machinery, he said. At present, the Government and private industries have been able to produce only some 20,000 units of power tillers needed in agricultural sector per year and there is still more to produce.
Technicians of the Ministry of Commerce have produced small rice mills that can also be used in the fields, meeting the standard of international level. Therefore, the industrial zones, according to the samples, are to continue producing the devices.
Likewise, priority is to be given to producing small hydel power turbines and small bio-gas powered generators that can generate electricity on a wider scale, which contribute to power supply in rural areas and efforts are to be made for establishing crude palm oil plant and palm oil refinery at home based on extended cultivation of oil palm. With such great efforts, the industrial sector will make progress beginning 2004-2005 realizing the goals of the State. Afterwards, Secretary of the Committee Minister for Industry-1 U Aung Thaung made a speech. He said that industrial development is a prerequisite for the emergence of a new modern and developed nation. Emphasis is to be placed on agro-based industrial development for ensuring all-round industrial development.
The wider use of machinery in the agricultural sector will contribute to boosting the living standard of farmers saving the cost of agriculture. The industrial zones are required to widely produce farm equipment and equipment for industrial use. In the process, the government has been providing necessary assistance to Mandalay Industrial Zone, Monywa Industrial Zone and Taunggyi (Ayethaya) Industrial Zone for the emergence of foundries and arrangements have been made for disbursing loans to the industrial zones. The Committee, the Work Committee and the Sub-Committee are exerting energetic efforts for the industrial development and it is incumbent upon officials of the respective industrial zones and entrepreneurs to make integrated and well-coordinated efforts for more and more industry-wise development.
Next, Chairman of Myanma Industrial Development Work Committee Minister for Industry-2 Maj-Gen Saw Lwin reported on purchase of equipment for foundry and supply of equipment for assembling the vehicles and other points.
