NLD expected to boost agriculture sector

The National League for Democracy (NLD) is expected to improve and build the country’s agriculture sector,according to a report by fareasternagriculture.com on 24 November.
Macquarie University academician Sean Turnell, who is also an informal advisor to the NLD, said, “In agriculture, things are not really good. A reorientation of economic policy towards agriculture, making life better for Myanmar’s farmers and cultivators and rural population generally – that’s where we’re going to see a really strong focus.”
Researchers and observers believe that the sector is plagued with issues such as high levels of debt and a poor local credit system.
