A Study on Challenges Faced by Farmers During Covid-19 Pandemic in Nay Pyi Taw (Case Study:Tatkon,Pyinmana and Lewe Townships) May Thu Lin The main objective of the study is to assess the impact of COVID-19 on farmers and the challenges faced by farmers and to study potential interventions as a response. The descriptive method is used in this study. The study finds that during COVID-19 Pandemic, although the respondents got loans from different financial sources, they still had difficulties for the cost of farm operation. Because of limited access to loans and credit, the cost of production did not cover. Increasing the cost of inputs was one of the main challenges for farmers. The farmers also faced difficulties in increasing the cost of hiring labors. However, the farmers had no difficulties in transportation and market access. Increasing the loan amount for the future growing season will be a great help for farmers in continuing their production. Getting agricultural inputs with the normal market price in the future is important for farmers. Mechanization could ease the farmers from the burden for increasing labor charges in the future. 2023-03-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8851
