[NNA] Myanmar’s rice production declines… Fertilizer, pesticide, etc. price surge (Nate) 

October 22, 2022


Nate published an article stating that FAO predicted that Myanmar’s rice production this year will fall below the average of the past five years. Myanmar’s rice production is expected to reach 23.8 million tonnes this year, down 10 percent from the average over the past five years. It is said that the decisive factor is the limited use of fertilizers and pesticides due to the sharp rise in prices. According to an IFPRI survey, the price of urea increased by 90 percent in July, chemical fertilizers by 75 percent, herbicides by 50 percent, and pesticides by 40 percent as of July, respectively, from the previous year.
