Résumé
This book is the culmination of a decade of rigorous empirical research on Myanmar’s agrifood system, and provides critical insights into its evolution, current state, and future opportunities. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the agrifood system’s development and its economic role before and during recent crises, measures welfare outcomes in terms of poverty and nutrition, and examines the performance of various system components such as input supply, mechanization services, farm-level production, processing, retailing, and international trade. It also explores the regional dynamics of rural livelihoods through the lenses of gender and youth and identifies necessary investments and policies to enable the agrifood system to drive recovery and long-term economic development. The insights presented here are valuable not only for guiding immediate humanitarian assistance but also for designing future growth strategies, once a resolution to the current crisis is found that ensures lasting peace and good governance.
