      abstract = {EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is one of a series of  studies funded by USAID Burma and the Livelihoods and Food  Security Fund (LIFT) to understand the current situation  and identify potential ways to improve agriculture and the  rural economy in different agro-ecological zones of  Myanmar. It focuses on Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone, home to  approximately 10 million people. The results are based on  information from almost 950 crop-producing households on  area planted, quantities harvested and sold, and total crop  production costs for the 13 predominant crops in the Dry  Zone, based on a reference period of the past 12 months  prior to the survey interview. The survey also collected  parcel-level data on the household’s main parcel that was  planted to at least one of four main crops of interest,  namely paddy, groundnut, sesame and green gram. The  parcel-level data includes information by season on seeds  and other inputs applied to each crop, use of family and  hired labor, use of mechanization and/or draft animal  power, irrigation costs, and harvested quantities. Key  findings are summarized below.},
