Sugarcane production expected to decrease coming year by 50%

As Myanmar market price is very low in 2020 and there is still plenty of sugar in stores, therefore sugar producers and traders have predicted sugarcane plantation will decrease in next season. Sugarcane farmers from Sagaing, Mandalay, and Shan Region are changing to sesame crop and other grains which have a stable and good market price. In 2021, sugar production is expected to decrease as low as 50%.
