Introduction
Myanmar is an agriculture-based country and the agriculture sector contributes 34% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), 23% of total export earnings and employs 63% of the work force. Although the country is rich in natural resources, Myanmar is one of the
Least Developed Countries (LDC) in the world. 75% of the country‘s population are living in rural areas.One of the most striking features is the extreme isolation of people residing in rural areas. Villages as close as 6 or 8 km from a main road are cut off from many
basic services.
