Background
     In 1996 Government of the Union of Myanmar enacted the Private Industrial Enterprise Law (Law No.22/29 dated 26-10-1990) with the result that a large number of small scale industries had emerged to get themselves registered under that law with the Directorate of Industrial Supervision and Inspection of the Ministry of Industry (1).
   Then in 1991 the Government enacted the Promotion of Cottage Industries Law (Law No.13/91 dated 10-10-1991) for the development of thousands of cottage and
 
handicraft industries existing in various States and Divisions.
These events prompted the Industrial and Construction Sub- Committee of the Union of Myanmar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI) to consider that all the private industries, irrespective of type and size, should be organized into a unified association with the aim of industrial development in the nation.
A Committee composed of experienced industrialists headed by the Chairman of the above-mentioned Sub-Committee was formed to take necessary steps towards the formation of an association of private industries.
Thus in 1993 the Myanmar Industries Association (MIA) was formed under the license No.32 dated 27, April 1993 of the Ministry of Commerce.
