Transcript of Connecting global value chains: Myanmar's Agriculture and Trade Reforms
Key constraints in connecting global value chains • Focus on improving production systems (area expansion rather than productivity) drove agrarian reforms in the past.• Concerns over food security and nostalgic role of "rice bowl of Asia" hindered diversification and poverty focus.• Government intervened trade in favor of big bus,inesses while paying less attention to input market for small holders.• Myanmar enjoys strategic location and late-comer's advantage; however, it lacks capacity to manage these potentials.
