About MMTW
Welcome to MMTW. Learn about our story, our people, and what drives us below.
Company Overview
Myint Myat Taw Win Company Ltd (MMTW) is an agricultural products trading and processing company based in Magway, Myanmar. Our facility sits in the central dry zone, one of Myanmar's most productive regions for oilseeds, pulses, and onion. We are one of the largest agricultural traders in the region, handling roughly 5% of Myanmar's total agricultural export market.
We have been in the agricultural trading business for over 30 years. What started as a small commodity trading operation in 1993 became MMTW in 2008, and we formally incorporated as a company in 2018. Today we operate a dedicated processing facility, a team of 46 full-time staff supported by 100 seasonal workers, and partnerships with six farmer groups across the region.
We trade sesame, peanuts, mung bean, chickpea, pigeon pea, onion, and other crops in both domestic and international markets. We handle everything from purchasing and quality control to cleaning, grading, color sorting, and export preparation at our own facility in Magway. Since 2015, our products have been grown under Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), a quality standard that gives both farmers and buyers confidence in what we trade.
Our History
Farmers struggled to get fair prices because product quality was inconsistent, and traders could not access higher-value markets with low-quality goods. Our Managing Director, U Myint Aung, set out to change that.
U Myint Aung started trading agricultural commodities in Yenangyaung Township, Magway Region.
Expanded operations and scaled into large-scale commodity trading across the region.
Moved business operations to Magway City, closer to the heart of the central dry zone.
Co-founded Myint Myat Taw Win with five business partners as a dedicated agricultural trading operation.
Began working with farmer groups to produce crops under Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), opening access to premium domestic and international markets. Started working with international development organizations on agricultural value chain and market system development projects.
Formally incorporated as Myint Myat Taw Win Company Ltd, with a dedicated processing facility, warehouse, and full export capability.
Partnered with NGOs and large private companies to expand advanced crop cleaning operations and grow crop trading businesses across new regions.
Established company policies, procedures, and business strategies while implementing digital transformation across the organization.
Leadership
U Myint Aung has spent over 30 years in agricultural trading. He holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from Yangon University, but chose agriculture over law, starting his first commodity trading business in Yenangyaung Township in 1993.
In 2008, the business was established as Myint Myat Taw Win with five partners, and he has served as Managing Director since the company formally incorporated in 2018. Under his leadership, MMTW became one of the first companies in Myanmar to build its entire business model around Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), connecting quality-focused farming directly to premium markets.
His work in promoting GAP has reached beyond Magway into Yangon Region and Sagaing Region. He has worked alongside international development organizations to support farmer group development and fair market access, played a leading role in getting farmers fair prices for GAP-certified crops, and contributed to the development of legal frameworks for GAP-based agriculture in Myanmar.
