Experience with COVID-19 in many countries has revealed the vulnerability of agri-food value chains to disruption arising from income loss and restrictions on the movement of produce, workers, and service providers. In this July 22nd virtual policy seminar, IFPRI and development partners discuss recent surveys on Myanmar’s agri-food value chains and highlight possible actions to support crop value chains.
This section includes assessments on state of the agrifood system in Myanmar based on the Myanmar Agricultural Performance Survey (MAPS) and key informant phone surveys. MAPS is a nationally and sub-nationally representative phone survey, conducted every 6 months on approximately 5,000 farming households. Assessments in this section will examine input use and input prices, farm management practices, agricultural outputs and output prices, and the impacts of shocks on production. This will be complimented by assessments on key actors in the agrifood systems, such as mechanization service providers, agricultural input retailers, agricultural commodity traders, rice millers and food vendors.
