The government of Myanmar and the Netherlands intend to start a partnership
programme in different agricultural sectors, including horticulture. In October 2014 the
Director General for Agriculture at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs has fielded a
technical expert mission to assess the potential for growth and development. A Dutch
team consisting of experts from Alterra, PPO and NVWA have visited Myanmar in
November 2014, aiming to provide strategic and operational directions for the
development of an Integrated Crop Management and Pesticide Risk Reduction
Programme in Myanmar. This report describes their findings and summarizes directions
for the future development of this Programme.
