| dc.description | Rice is the staple food of the people of Myanmar and rice farming contributes significantly to the livelihoods of the majority of the rural population, which constitutes 70 percent of the national total. Although rice is widely grown across Myanmar, significant quantitative and qualitative post harvest losses occur in rice, owing to improper practices during post-harvest operations such as harvesting, threshing, cleaning, drying, storage, and milling. Farmers have traditionally been reluctant to adopt science-based harvesting, post-harvest handling, processing and packaging practices due to a lack of awareness and inadequate training. In this context, effective methods were identified to improve harvesting, post-harvest handling, storage, processing, packaging and marketing of rice for farmers in Myanmar, in particular in the target areas of Nay Pyi Taw and Ayeyarwady regions. | |
