| dc.description | Rice plays an important role in Myanmar's agricultural economy, livelihoods, and food security. The country possesses favourable conditions to enhance rice productivity, quality, and export opportunities across the value chain. Achieving this involves improving farm-level productivity, processing practices, and overall rice competitiveness. Effective strategies include adopting and expanding good agricultural practices (GAP) to enhance food safety and quality.Gaps in knowledge, access, and efficiency of inputs and services for rice were identified through a comprehensive GAP situational analysis. Validation was achieved through research, discussions with market actors and stakeholders as well as insights from FAO experts, and extensive data research.The objective of GAP dissemination involves a systematic, impact-oriented approach with stakeholder involvement. Context-specific information will be collected at the farmer's field. Capacity-building efforts involve lead farmer organizations, public–private partners, and value chain actors. The framework contains pre- and post-harvest practices tailored for small and medium farmers, supported by farmer organizations, sensitization, technical assistance, and market linkages. On-farm demonstrations, farmer field schools, training, and information and communications technology (ICT) tools supplement GAP promotion. User-friendly integrated pest management (IPM) handbooks and Farmer Field School (FFS) curricula complement the framework, guiding capacity-building efforts for farmers and GAP stakeholders to support and complement existing initiatives. | |
