Resumen
Descripción
Improving agricultural productivity and
promoting exports are top priorities for the Government of
the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Given the centrality
of rice to the rejuvenation of agriculture in Myanmar, the
rice sector is of critical importance, especially rice
exports. The government announced ambitious targets of 2
million metric tons (tons)2 of rice exports by 2014/15 and 4
million tons by 2019/20. Recent actual performance is
falling short of these targets, but the opening of
Myanmar's economy has already helped significantly
increase rice exports. The rest of the report is organized
as follows. Chapter two provides information on recent rice
export developments in Myanmar. Chapter three presents the
evolving export opportunities as well as challenges that
must be overcome to capitalize on them. Chapter four
describes the main constraints at various segments of the
value chain and offers possible remedies. Chapter five
discusses how rice policy should evolve to support
modernization of the rice value chain. Chapter six offers
conclusions and policy recommendations. Seven annexes
provide further, more detailed information.
