In Myanmar, the natural Spirulina is produced from the natural lakes of Twintaung, Twinma, Taungpauk and Yaekharr. Yaekharr Lake is located between Sagaing Hill and Min Wun Hill in Sagaing Division of central part of Myanmar.

Yaekhar Lake produces natural Spirulina to use in the production of medicines and consumer goods. The Spirulina can be found in the volcanic crater lakes and the natural lakes, having high PH level.

In the first stage of Spirulina production process, the water is pumped up from the lake. Pumping water includes 6:1of water and Spirulina. Pure Spirulina can be obtained from which the pumped water is sieved by three times during the reproduction season of Spirulina and this technique is called ‘Flat Plane’.

At ordinary times, Spirulina is sieved by Tube Plane technique. The sieved Spirulina has to be made into filigree work by using hydraulic press. And then noodle like Spirulina is dried in the sun. To produce dried powdered Spirulina, two methods are used one by natural sun’s heat and the other is by chemical processes.

The Spirulina dried by chemical processes is better than the one dried by sun’s heat. The powdered spirulina is obtained by these methods. Yaekharr Lake is providing necessary Spirulina, one of the richest natural sources of protein, used to make medicines and consumer goods which are getting very popular in the International market day by day.
