| Description | ||||||
| This study explores the geographical assessment of oil seed crop production in Yenanchaung Township, Magway Region, Myanmar, located in the country’s central dry zone. Oil seed crops such as groundnut, sesame, and sunflower dominate local agriculture and play a critical role in sustaining rural livelihoods and contributing to the regional economy. The research focuses on identifying the physical and human geographical factors that shape oil seed cultivation, particularly climate variability, soil conditions, and topography. Employing a combination of field surveys, GIS-based spatial mapping, and statistical correlation analysis between climatic parameters and crop yields, the study reveals that erratic rainfall, high temperatures, and declining soil fertility significantly affect production patterns. On the human side, smallholder dependence, limited irrigation, and socio-economic constraints further challenge sustainability. Despite these difficulties, the study highlights opportunities for improvement through climate-smart agriculture, soil conservation techniques, irrigation development, and policy support. By adopting a place based geographical approach, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the spatial and environmental dynamics of oil seed crop production in Yenanchaung Township. The findings offer valuable insights for promoting sustainable agricultural practices in Myanmar’s dry zone. |
