The “Sustainable cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar” project (SLM project) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO) conducted a telephone survey in September - when there was rapid surge of COVID19 cases in late August and movement restrictions put in place again throughout the country - to assess the drivers affecting crops plantation area and productivity of monsoon crops during COVID19 pandemic in four project pilot townships in three agro-ecological zones. Prior to this survey, in May 2020, a rapid assessment to identify immediate barriers and challenges of 171 rural smallholder farmers amid COVID19 pandemic was also conducted by the SLM project.
