A new report on Myanmar's fish farming industry by the Centre for Economic and Social Development (CESD), Michigan State University (MSU) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) is highlighting the "rapid growth" it underwent in the past 10 years.
But while it is supporting higher rural incomes, greater job opportunities, as well as improved nutrition, health and well-being, it also showed some of the country's persisting challenges to develop the sector.
Researchers of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded report -- "Aquaculture in transition: value chain transformation, fish and food security in Myanmar" -- are now calling for several changes to be made to "transform" the industry.
