New Zealand will provide 60 million New Zealand dollars (71.9 million U.S.dollars) for Myanmar's breeding of milk cows, local media reported Tuesday.

It was agreed at discussions between Geoff Mavromatis, Director of the Agri Business Group from New Zealand and officials from Myanmar Livestock Federation recently held at the headquarters of Myanmar Livestock Federation here, said the Weekly Eleven News.

After agreeing to the implementation of the project between the two sides, experts from the two countries will draw the related budget for the project.

As part of the two countries' bilateral cooperation, the New Zealand Trades Enterprise Limited (NZTE) has been providing technical assistance to Myanmar business enterprises since 2010 to help develop some sectors of the country such as milk and dairy products production, construction of modernized milch cow breeding farms, production of vegetable mechanically, regenerating energy from waste, production of raw materials for industries, production of drinking water from rivers, streams and sea waters and generating electricity from these water resources and motor cars production as well as information and technology sector and aircraft manufacturing and pilot training.
