FAMSUN's Swift Response: Restoring Hope and Feed Production in Myanmar After Earthquake
April 13, 2025, 4:41 am
On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake shook Myanmar's Mandalay region. The tremors disrupted lives and crippled the vital animal feed industry. In the aftermath, FAMSUN, a leader in agri-tech, stepped in like a lighthouse in a storm, guiding the way to recovery.
The earthquake wreaked havoc on key feed production facilities. Major players like CP Group, New Hope, Sunjin, KSP Myanmar, and Diamond faced operational paralysis. The damage was extensive. Equipment lay in ruins, power outages plagued the area, and structural risks loomed large. The consequences were dire: a halt in feed production threatened the entire livestock sector, jeopardizing the availability of meat, eggs, and dairy.
FAMSUN wasted no time. Within hours of the disaster, the company activated its emergency protocols. A specialized Joint Support Team, comprising eight technical experts, was assembled. These specialists brought together a wealth of knowledge in equipment, engineering, and electrical systems. They were ready to tackle the challenge head-on.
Logistical hurdles were significant. Travel restrictions and damaged infrastructure made the journey to Mandalay treacherous. Yet, the team persevered. They navigated through aftershock-affected areas, embarking on a grueling twelve-hour overnight drive. By April 5, they reached the epicenter of the disaster, ready to roll up their sleeves.
The recovery efforts began immediately. FAMSUN engineers conducted thorough safety inspections and technical assessments of the damaged feed mills. The conditions were challenging. Aftershocks rattled the ground, extreme heat tested their endurance, and structural risks loomed. Yet, the team worked tirelessly, determined to restore operations.
Their efforts bore fruit. Within just 48 hours, FAMSUN successfully restored stable production at four key feed mills in the Mandalay area. One facility saw a remarkable turnaround. Engineers applied pre-fabricated modular components to fix a critical conveying system failure. This innovative approach slashed repair time by 60%, allowing production to resume faster than traditional methods would allow.
This rapid recovery was not just a technical achievement; it was a lifeline for thousands of local farms. The restoration of feed supply stabilized Myanmar's livestock production, ensuring that the country could continue to meet its food needs during a critical time.
But FAMSUN's mission extended beyond technical repairs. The company recognized the human toll of the disaster. Alongside its recovery efforts, FAMSUN delivered essential humanitarian aid to affected communities. The aid package, valued at over 40 million Myanmar Kyat, included medicine, food, drinking water, and cash assistance. Working closely with local partners, including the China Enterprise Chamber of Commerce in Myanmar and the Myanmar Livestock Federation, FAMSUN ensured that help reached those who needed it most.
The arrival of FAMSUN's team brought not just technical expertise but also a sense of hope. Their presence reassured the affected communities that they were not alone in their struggle. The engineers worked hand-in-hand with local teams, restoring production while providing essential aid to families in need.
FAMSUN's response highlighted the importance of regional cooperation. The company's swift action showcased the role of private-sector expertise in enhancing crisis response capabilities. Their commitment to the people and communities they serve was evident in every step of the recovery process.
As recovery efforts in Mandalay concluded, FAMSUN's work was far from over. The company continued its mission by extending support to other affected areas, including Taunggyi. This ongoing effort underscored FAMSUN's dedication to food security and sustainable growth across Southeast Asia.
FAMSUN is not just a company; it is a beacon of resilience. Its commitment to building efficient and sustainable farm-to-table value chains is unwavering. With operations in over 110 countries, FAMSUN leverages its global expertise to drive agricultural advancement and create better lives for communities worldwide.
In the face of disaster, FAMSUN stood tall. Their swift response restored hope and stability to Myanmar's feed production. As the dust settles and recovery takes root, the people of Myanmar can look forward to a brighter future, thanks to the unwavering support of FAMSUN. The company’s actions remind us that in times of crisis, collaboration and innovation can pave the way for recovery and resilience.
