Transforming Myanmar’s Food Processing Industry: Obstacles and Opportunities
Global Food and Nutrition Security

This report delivers Myanmar’s first thorough assessment of the agrifood processing sector in over 10 years, providing an empirical foundation for policy on private sector development. Based on a nationally representative survey of 400 firms across five regions, two states, and the Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory (August–October 2025), this study covers four main value chains: rice milling, edible oil, processed foods, and animal products. It reviews firm characteristics, production and sales, employment, inputs, infrastructure, finance, technology, certification, disaster risk, and productivity, offering a clear picture of sector performance amid current conditions.
