This document presents the challenges of local market development for small holder ecologically friendly products. It states that organic agriculture in Myanmar remains small, with the organic market still in its early stages compared to neighboring countries. Limited awareness of chemical risks, inconsistent and low supply, and the past absence of a certification body have hindered growth. Certification programs like MOGPA’s help build trust among consumers and retailers, but due to the weak market, certified products are often sold as conventional goods.
