Burma: Burma Wheat Consumption and Market Updates

Burma's domestic wheat quality and production remain insufficient to meet growing demand. As a result, Burma has imported about 266,000-512,000 metric tons of wheat and milled wheat products annually between 2019-2024 , mainly from Australia and the United States. Without better domestic varieties, stronger extension services, and improved post-harvest practices, contacts shared that wheat will not become a reliable income-generating crop for Burmese farmers.
