UNION Minister for Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation U Tin Htut Oo presided over a coordination meeting on the distribution of agrochemicals, fertilizers at fairer prices to the farmers together with officials of the Myanmar Rice Federation, Myanmar Fertilizer, Seed and Pesticide Entrepreneurs Association and agrochemical companies in Yangon on 21 January.
During the meeting, the
Union minister underscored the need to simultaneously develop the existing
agricultural industry using modern technologies through the business chain in
striving towards an industrialized country.
The government and the
private sector should work together to balance the price of fertilizers, which
is an important input for the development of the agricultural sector, keeping in
line with domestic and foreign prices.
The government also provides the needed
assistance under the existing law and so the private organizations should
cooperate in it.
The education
programmes regarding soil quality, proper agrochemicals to conform with the
crops and locations are being conducted for the farmers, retailers and
wholesalers.
The farmers’ interest
in compound fertilizers is now high, and if there is a need for compound plants
to improve investment and local compound production, the government will
provide timely assistance. Balanced cooperation between the government and
private sectors is needed for the interest of the farming sector in the long
run.
Then, the attendees to
the meeting coordinated the discussion.
