Myanmar's cross-border imports and exports surged 11.87 percent year on year to over 2.01 billion U.S. dollars in the first nearly 3 months of the 2023-24 fiscal year, official data showed on Saturday.

The country's goods exports via land borders amounted to over 1.11 billion dollars between April 1 and June 23 this year, while its border imports were valued at over 894.35 million dollars, the country's Ministry of Commerce's figures showed.

During the period, the country saw a total foreign trade value of over 7.37 billion dollars, including its maritime trade value of more than 5.3 billion dollars, the ministry's figures showed.

The Southeast Asian country usually does most of its foreign trade through sea routes as it has a long coastline. It conducts border trade with China, Thailand, Bangladesh and India.

In efforts to further enhance border trade, Myanmar also hosted a Myanmar-China border trade fair in its capital Nay Pyi Taw in May.

The country exports agricultural products, animal products, fisheries, minerals and forest products, manufacturing goods and others, while it imports capital goods, intermediate goods and consumer goods.
