Report on a scoping study conducted in Magway, Dry Zone and Ayeyarwady Delta region of Myanmar to determine the needs of smallholder farmers and traders relating to vegetable production, postharvest handling and consumption. A total of 151 farmers from six townships in Magway and Ayeyarwady were engaged in focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, and results were combined with direct observation of fields and markets to make assessments and recommendations. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with six vegetable traders across both regions to gain preliminary information on marketing aspects. Locations in Ayeyarwady were chosen to enable a comparison between villages strongly affected by salinity with less- and non-affected ones.
