  1. Current Situation of Post-harvest technology in Myanmar Presented By Myanmar Participants

  2. Profile of Myanmar • Neighbor to China, India, Laos, Bangladesh, Thailand • 9°32’ to 28°31’ Latitude • 92°10’ to 101°11’ Longitude • Area : 676,577 km2 • Extended about 2361 km from north to south • About 1078 km from east to west • A very long costal line of about 2234 km • Population over 59.13 million

  3. Profile of Myanmar cont. • Climate - rainy, dry cold, summer/ hot season • Rainfall • Costal and hilly region - 2600 – 5280 mm • Central Myanmar - 750 – 925 mm • Upper Myanmar - 1080 – 2290 mm • Temperature • Central plain • cold season – 10 – 15°C • hot season - 40°C • Hilly region • Average maximum temperature - 29°C • Average minimum temperature - 7°C • Water resource - total annual flow - 836.73 million ac ft

  4. Profile of Myanmar cont. Land utilization in 2009-2010 Sources – Agriculture Brief

  5. Cereal crop production in Myanmar (2009-2010) Sources – MAS, 2010

  6. Oil seed crop production in Myanmar Sources – MAS, 2010

  7. Pea & bean production area in Myanmar-1

  8. Pea & bean production area in Myanmar-2 Sources – MAS, 2010

  9. Vegetable production in Myanmar 2009-2010 Sources – MAS, 2010

  10. Fruit production in Myanmar 2009-2010 -1

  11. Fruit production in Myanmar 2009-2010 -2 Sources – MAS, 2010

  12. Culinary crop production in Myanmar Sources – MAS, 2010

  13. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Myanmar • Agriculture - vital part of Myanma economy • 12.14 % of total export earning • 61 % of labor force • 35.63 % of total GDP Sources – MOAI, 2010

  14. Data on export of agricultural products (ton) Sources – Ministry of commerce

  15. Data on export of major fruits and culinary crop (ton) Sources – Ministry of commerce

  16. Situation of post harvest technology in Myanmar • Post harvest handling- the movement of commodities and • operations undergo from harvest • to meal • The estimated magnitude of postharvest loss in Myanmar • fresh produce - about 25-40% • rice - about 5- 20 % • peas and beans- 5-7%

  17. Estimated Levels of postharvest losses in the Asia Pacific Region R.S. Rolle, Agr.Industries Officer, FAO, 2004

  18. Postharvest losses of Fruits and Vegetable in Myanmar • Harvesting losses • Transportation losses • Storage losses • Handling losses • Total losses of fruits and vegetable – 25-40 % Wholesale Dealers Site (10-19%) Producers Site (11-12%) Retail Sellers Site 4- 8 %

  19. by boat . Transportation harvested crops from field to main road by minitrailor. by bullock-cart Ox cart

  20. Transport to Market

  21. Temporary storage in the market

  22. Loading

  23. Fresh vegetables and fruits at open market

  24. Various packaging materials

  25. Sorting and Grading

  26. Paper bag for good quality mango Paper bags provided by FAO Locally available Paper bags made by the farmers

  27. Rice postharvest losses in Myanmar • Harvesting losses • Transportation losses (to drying area ) • Drying on dike losses • Threshing losses • Storage Losses • Total losses of Rice – 5.6% - 20.9%

  28. Rice Postharvest losses in Myanmar Tin Ohmmar Win and Hla Gyi. 2011

  29. Harvesting by Man Power

  30. Bundles Left in the Field for Drying Farmers left rice bundles in the field for 10-30 days. It is one of the most injurious phase of rice quality for millers with erratic climate condition

  31. Transportation from Field to Threshing area

  32. Transportation From Field to Threshing machine

  33. Threshing and Drying

  34. Traditional Storage Conventional Storage

  35. Postharvest Losses in leguminous crops in Myanmar • Harvesting losses • Drying losses • Threshing and Winnowing losses • Transportation losses • Storage Losses • Total losses of leguminous crops – 4.6% -6.6 % Ref* Dr TOMW Postharvest

  36. Postharvest Losses (%) of Legumes Tin Ohmmar Win and Than Kyaing. 2010

  37. Threshing, cleaning & Sorting

  38. Constraints in post-harvest technology application in Myanmar • Poor infrastructure andlogistic • Few private enterprises to investment in agriculture sector • Higher cost for improved storage system • Not enough Research works

  39. Constraints in post-harvest technology application in Myanmar • Growers and stakeholder are unawareness of postharvest • technology • Public extension system to growers is rather weak • Limited numbers of post- harvest crop management technicians

  40. Conclusion • Reduction of post-harvest losses is one of the best ways to attain food security and increase the economy. • Simple and reliable post harvest technologies obtained from this training can be applied to improve post harvest technology to growers in our country.
