Myanmar’s military-owned Myanma Economic Holdings (MEH) has massively increased production of its Red & Blue cigarette brand since 2022, reports Myanmar Now.
Following the 2021 military coup, many consumers and activists opposed to the coup boycotted the two better known military-owned cigarette brands.
Few boycott the Red & Blue brand because it is not widely known that MEH has a role in producing it.
Since 2022, the quantity of Red & Blue cigarettes produced has increased fifteenfold.
