Burma’s corn production is estimated at 2.57 million metric tons in both MY 2020/21 and MY 2021/22 due to high price incentives. Domestic prices have increased due to active export demand from Thailand and China. Burma’s domestic consumption, however, decreased due to the severe outbreak of COVID-19 and the military coup.
