Myanmar can raise value, volume of agriculture exports by going organic
Myanmar has potential to develop an organic market that will help to boost the value of local crops produced for export purposes and farmers’ standards of living. In fact, farmers in Myanmar already use less chemical fertilisers and pesticides compared to their neighbours, yet many are reluctant to venture into the organic market owing to transport hindrances and high costs, said U Wann Tin, owner of Sein Le Oo Organic Farm, which produces organic mushrooms.
