Sumario:Fish farming (aquaculture) is important to Myanmar’s food security and is developing and transforming quickly. This brief presents findings from a new field survey of the farmed fish value chain that is more detailed and broader than any previous study conducted in Myanmar.

The findings have important policy implications to unlock the sector’s full growth potential and food security contributions.
