A Study on Coffee Industry in Myanmar ( Case Study in Pyin Oo Lwin Township, Mandalay Region) ( Aye Aye Thant, 2024) Aye Aye Thant This study explores the perceptions and practices of coffee farmers regarding sustainable agriculture in Pyin Oo Lwin District, Mandalay Region, Myanmar. The objectives are to assess farmers’ attitudes towards sustainable practices and evaluate the sustainability of the local coffee industry. The study employs a descriptive method, utilizing both primary and secondary data. Primary data is collected through structured questionnaires with 30 coffee farm owners and 40 coffee producers or sellers. Secondary data sources include research papers, government reports, and information from various coffee associations. The findings reveal that while there is a high level of awareness and positive perception towards sustainable agricultural practices among local coffee stakeholders, there are significant challenges related to economic viability and awareness of advanced applications such as the biomedical uses of coffee. The demographic analysis shows a predominance of older, male farmers, highlighting potential generational and gender gaps in the sector. The study suggests that enhancing awareness, providing targeted support for younger and female farmers, and addressing economic barriers could improve the sustainability of coffee farming in the region. 2024-06-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9850
