摘要：

Agriculture sector growth in Myanmar averaged 2.5 percent during2009/10–2016/17. This compares to only half of the growth rate inneighboring China and Thailand at the same stage of their economicdevelopment and less than one-third of nonagricultural growth inMyanmar. This low agricultural growth is one of the main reasons forslow poverty reduction, high malnutrition, and job insecurity in manyparts of Myanmar, given the sector's continued significance in grossdomestic product (GDP) (29 percent), the labor force (50 percent),and exports (30 percent). This first-ever Agricultural Public Expenditure Review is animportant step to deepen the policy dialogue on improving the impactof public services on agricultural growth and other developmentalobjectives. It covers the period from 2009/10 to 2016/17, analyzingthe budgets of the Union Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock andIrrigation (MOALI), selected Regions and States, the MyanmarAgricultural Development Bank's (MADB) financing, and donors.The review focuses on allocative and implementation efficiencies ofpublic expenditures.
