Burma: Grain and Feed Annual
Link to report:
In MY 2020/21, rice production in Burma is forecast to increase in anticipation of favorable weather and increased demand from the European Union and China following COVID-19. The government will allow rice exports to continue, but with a restricted export quota of 100,000 MT per month. Corn production is also expected to recover in 2020/21 due to anticipated favorable weather. Corn exports in MY 2019/20 and MY 2020/21 are forecast to decline due to growing demand from domestic livestock industries and the devaluation of foreign currency, largely due to COVID-19. Burma’s wheat imports are forecast to increase in MY 2020/21 due to increasing consumption of wheat-derived products. This creates some opportunity for U.S. wheat, although Australian wheat is more competitive under the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area.
