Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents the outcome of the Rapid Trade and Market Assessment which comprised a field study, key informant interviews and focus group discussions conducted by the IMTE from 3 November to 11 December 2014. During the mission, the IMTE reviewed relevant aspects of agricultural marketing and trade in Myanmar putting emphasis on products most relevant to smallholders and poorer rural households. Rapid market assessment included a) review of NAPA project documents and sector reports as we ll as related agricultural trade literature (global, regional and national), b) institutional visits with key informant interviews of government, donor and private institutions within Yangon and Nya Pi Taw, and c) field activity for a first-hand view. Assessment results formed part of the basis for identifying gaps and potentials and consequent interventions and policy recommendations.

This research paper looks at the crisis in international agricultural markets during the last decade and draws out some lessons. Although crop prices continue to be volatile, the bout of high prices/high volatility ended by 2015. The initial rapid rise of prices was not predicted, and surprised both market players and the international community more broadly. Considerable policy attention was focused on the crisis – by the UN broadly, by FAO and its members, by G20 heads, agricultural groups, an d national governments.
