Implementation Assistance on Agriculture Income Improvement Project (AIIP),

Republic of the Union of Myanmar

In Myanmar, approximately 60% of the population is engaged in agriculture. However, in recent years, there has been an accelerated outflow of labor 

from the agricultural sector to the industrial sector or from rural to urban 

areas. It is anticipated that farmers may face a shortage of wage laborers in the future. Therefore, there is a need for a transition to modern, 

capital-intensive agriculture, which involves the proper introduction of 

high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, as well as the introduction of 

agricultural machinery, and the improvement and strengthening of 

production infrastructure and food distribution networks.

This project aimed to improve agricultural income and promote economic 

development in Myanmar, focusing on the area surrounding the Tapanzeik 

Dam, the largest irrigation area in the country. Activities included the 

development of agricultural production and distribution infrastructure, 

improvement of irrigation facilities, dissemination of agricultural 

techniques, and promotion of agricultural mechanization.

This project is related to the "Preparatory Survey for Intensive Agriculture 

Promotion Program" and the "Preparatory Survey for Agricultural Income 

Improvement Project". In particular, this project was carried out as an 

initial implementation of the yen loan project, providing technical support in advance for smooth implementation.
