TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) Corp has begun production at a plant in Myanmar whose launch was delayed by a military coup, the company said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the automaker said production began in September, with one to two units a day. The assembly plant near Yangon was supposed to start operation in February 2021 but was delayed by the coup, it added.
