If the cotton per acre yield hits the target of 700 viss, the country can fulfill its needs and can export the surplus, Chairman of State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said at the meeting on boosting national productivity.
It is reported that the country could produce about 201 million viss of cotton against its demand of 363.22 million viss.
Hence, regions and states, with suitable conditions to grow cotton, should extend the crop. High-yield quality strains must be selected, the Senior General said.
The Senior General said it will be much beneficial for the country, if local supply meets local demand and farming products can be exported.
Hence, union ministers and chief ministers should hold broader discussions on their achievements, preparations and requirements, the Senior General urged.
