Burma: Corn Production, Supply, and Demand Update 2016
Myanmar’s major corn production area is located in the central part of the country, particularly in Shan State which has about 52 percent of total production. Most farmers use high-yielding hybrid seeds provided or purchased from foreign entities. In Marketing Year 2016/17, total corn production is estimated to increase by six percent due to the expansion of rain fed corn growing areas and increased demand from neighboring countries in the region.
