Agri-Inputs

Increasing availability and access to better quality fertilizer, agrochemicals, seeds, machinery and other inputs is an important driver in increasing the productivity and quality of Myanmar’s agricultural products. Better quality inputs will also enable Myanmar to export more of its output to premium markets, in particular high value crops such as coffee, tea and fruits.

Myanmar is an underdeveloped domestic input market with lots of potential.

While Myanmar imports most of the fertilizers that it applies, it also exports most of its natural gas - the key input to fertilizer production.
