The Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA) and the Department of Planning of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MOALI-DOP) organized its second back-to-back national-level events under the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)-funded project Agricultural Transformation and Market Integration in the ASEAN Region: Responding to Food Security and Inclusiveness Concerns (ATMI-ASEAN) on 13-14 August 2019 here.
The first activity was the roundtable discussion (RTD) on Policy Recommendations of the Study on Pulses in Myanmar held on 13 August 2019 at Aureum Palace Hotel & Resort. The RTD aimed to discuss the preliminary results of the rapid value chain study on pulses titled Assessing Transformation and Integration of Pulses Sector in Myanmar: Responding to Food Security and Inclusiveness Project, which is currently being conducted by the Centre for Economic and Social Development (CESD) under the ATMI-ASEAN Project. The discussions revolved around the current status of the pulses industry, opportunities and challenges encountered, as well as policy recommendations as to how to further strengthen and support the sector in Myanmar. The RTD also served as a guide for the Myanmar Technical Working Group (TWG) in relation to the possible national technical assistance (TA) activities of the ATMI-ASEAN Project for Myanmar.
