with the thrift and loan society in Myinmu, in the upper part of the
country. It was one of the first cooperatives to be set up, with the
objective of providing for the well-being
of members. With that trend, more and more cooperatives were formed and in
1946 the first fishery cooperative was established in Ayeyawady Division.
Apart from national fulfillment endeavours, the cooperatives were able to
export 1,517.48 metric
tons of fish to the value of about 4.1 million US dollars in 1997-98, In
