The agricultural sector in Burma is one of the hot areas for foreign investors to tap, especially as Burma seeks to upgrade, add value and regain her pre-eminence in the world's agricultural markets, once occupying the No. 1 position as the largest rice exporter in the world in the 1960s.

The conference speakers will bring include experts in Burma’s rice, pulses, edible oil, seeds, sugar, rubber, fertilizer, farm equipment & other agricultural sectors, in addition to bankers, traders, infrastructure players, and senior government decision-makers, who will interact with some of the world's foremost investors, traders, buyers and agricultural companies.
