      abstract = {Despite its enormous potential, Myanmar’s agriculture has  underperformed over the past fifty years. Today, per capita  earnings in agriculture average roughly $200 a year,  one-half to one-third of the levels achieved by its  regional peers. Given that two-thirds of the population  works primarily in agriculture, low farm productivity  translates into high rates of poverty and food insecurity.  Currently, about one quarter of the population falls below  the national poverty line. As a result, in spite of  national rice self-sufficiency, food security for many  households and individuals remains elusive. Poor households  spend over 70% of their income on food. In addition, fully  one-third of rural households borrow at some point during  the year in order to purchase food. Even after shouldering  this heavy financial burden, up to one-half of rural  households report having to navigate two months each year  without adequate food supplies, leaving one-third of the  country’s children stunted.},
