Myanmar Awba Group, Mercy Corps, and Golden Sunland have formed a coalition with the objective of improving the livelihoods of paddy farmers in Labutta town, Ayeyarwady region, via a project called Link to Labutta Market. Golden Sunland, a Singapore-based agricultural firm, will purchase high quality paddy, ultimately enabling farmers to earn more income. SMU alumnus David Chen, who is the co-founder and COO of Golden Sunland said, "We are constantly looking for new ways to add value to the supply chain and being a part of this partnership allows Golden Sunland to work closely with Myanmar farmers to ensure a stability of income while bringing local products to the international market."
