SAC chairman discussed coordination on developing the cotton, oil crops, coffee, meat, and dairy products sectors at the SAC Chairman Office in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning. He spotlighted that although Myanmar is endowed with agricultural lands for growing oil crops, water, and human resources, the nation’s inefficient cooking oil production is inappropriate.
He continued that as oil crops can be cultivated and produced within four months, farmers can grow them twice a year. So, seeking the best way to cultivate crops successfully is necessary.
In the agriculture sector, the Senior General instructed that an emphasis is being placed on increasing the per-acre yield of crops. As the lands where paddy can be successfully grown due to favourable weather and fertile soil, suitable crops should be cultivated to increase the per-acre yield of crops, he added.
