Nay Pyi Taw, Nov 15 (IANS) Myanmar will export about 100,000 tonnes of pulses to India annually and a Memorandum of Understanding is being established in this regard, the media reported on Tuesday.
India has proposed to increase its demand for Myanmar's mung beans and pigeon peas by 25,000 tonnes per year starting next year, Xinhua news agency reported.
