ITHER we go to various regions and states of Myanmar or Ewe come to Yangon from other parts of the country, industrial zones are a common sight on the outskirts of Yangon. Once these places grew under the influence of quietness, but nowadays they come alive with industrial images. With a total of 29 industrial zones located on the outskirts of Yangon, nearby streets are swarming with factory workers during the rush hours. Garment is the largest among the indus- tries in Yangon. There are 389 CMP and CMP related factories in My- anmar until November in 2019.
