Don’t forget usefulness of cotton suitable for Myanmar people

Agriculturists who are taking a leading role in the share of techniques in the agricultural sector need to produce agricultural products based on results of research works by assessing the market demand, but the researches should be actually beneficial to the farmers.
Those agriculturists and researchers should research on a wider scale in order to release the outcomes to be applied in overcoming the difficulties the farmers face.

Shwetaung farm and Lunkyaw farm are shouldering the primary duty of producing seeds of Ngwechi-6, Ngwechi-9, Ngwechi-11, Shwetaung-8 and Shwetaung-10 cotton strains to meet the demand of local cotton growers. On the other hand, the two farms focus on conducting research on various species of cotton crops, agricultural technologies, plant nutrition, pest research and economic effectiveness.
Dry zones are the favourite area of cotton plantations. So, Mandalay Region gives 350 acres of cotton special zones with 50 acres in Meiktila Township, 100 acres in Wundwin Township and 100 acres each in Yamethin and Pyawbwe townships. Shwedaung-8 and Shwedaung-10 cotton strains are thriving in those townships.
In addition, farmers cultivate various strains of cotton crops on more than 390,000 acres of croplands where large cotton, small cotton and long-staple cotton plants are cultivated.
