Mechanisation and sustainability efforts boost Myanmar’s crop productivity (Oxford Business Group) 

July 17, 2020


Oxford Business Group published an article on how Myanmar is using mechanization to increase crop production. The article quoted an IFPRI study that found most farmers in the area used mechanical land preparation techniques. However, the report also found that harvesting and threshing are still carried out manually, so the mechanization process is far from complete. Nevertheless, the trend is promising considering the fact that the central dry zone holds around 25% of the population, with 83% of that figure dependent upon agriculture for their livelihoods.
