Monitoring the agri-food system in Myanmar: Rice Millers – November 2021 survey round (ReliefWeb) 

January 21, 2022


Relief Web published a report on IFPRI results from the Disruptions to the banking sector continue to be salient on rice millers survey that included 392 medium- and large-scale rice millers from major rice-growing regions of Myanmar to learn more about the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis and political instability. This report presents important results and analyses from those interviews. Two recommendations came from the study: 1) Credit guarantees to enable banks or MFIs to expand working capital to the milling sector should be considered to ensure the financial viability of rice milling; 2) Easing transport restrictions, stabilizing fuel prices, and continued operation of export markets would bring much-needed stability to rice markets while relaxing the financial and production constraints that millers are experiencing.
