“Analysis of Contract Farming in Myanmar (Special Reference to Paddy Production in Nay Pyi Taw) (Han Thaw Zay , 2024) Han Thaw Zay This study investigates the contract farming (CF) in Nay Pyi Taw district, Myanmar, focusing on rice production. The purposes of the study are to explore CF condition, to study the perceptions of CF farmers and NCF farmers on CF programme, and to identify challenges in contract farming practices. A descriptive method was employed, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data collected through structured questionnaires. The sample comprised 229 CF farmers and 82 NCF farmers from nine villages across three townships. Findings reveal that majority of CF farmers experience positive outcomes, with 57.6% receiving expected benefits and 62.4% reporting changes in cultivation methods. In comparison to NCF farmers, CF farmers can be found that they have more income and profit, and less expenditure. NCF farmers exhibit limited understanding of contract farming, highlighting barriers to participation. The study underscores the need for improved communication, support services, and government policies to enhance the effectiveness of contract farming and promote sustainable agricultural practices in the region. 2024-08-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/10445
