Farmers in Magway Division have reported mixed experiences with crop markets during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the green bean market remaining strong despite a decline in sesame prices. This resilience has allowed farmers to find profit in growing sesame, even during a period of low market demand. The high demand for green beans is attributed to significant quotas from India and China's consistent purchases, albeit at varying prices. Indian imports of pulses are expected to reach 300,000 tonnes by 2021, further supporting the green bean market. Farmers in the area have also been growing green peas since May, with crops expected to appear in August.
