Burma: Grain and Feed Annual

The Burmese military’s February 1, 2021 coup will negatively impact agricultural trade at least in the short-term due to the country-wide Civil Disobedience Movement, which involves widespread labor strikes in opposition to the military’s action. Burma’s rice and corn exports in MY 2021/22 are projected to grow due to recovery of production area and high price incentives. Burma’s wheat imports are projected to increase in MY 2021/22 due to increasing consumption of wheat-derived products. U.S. wheat will have reduced competitiveness since Australian wheat can be imported duty-free under the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Area.
