Although the country is rich in resources, conflict and displacement—compounded by a political crisis, economic downturn, pre-existing poverty, and climate-related shocks—are making it increasingly difficult for its people to meet basic needs. Many communities are forced into repeated relocations in search of safety, and countless families struggle to survive as work opportunities and sources of income disappear. Farmers, too, face immense challenges, often unable to cultivate their land. According to a WFP report, Myanmar is experiencing unprecedented levels of food insecurity, affecting 15.2 million people.
Amid these hardships, resilient host communities are demonstrating remarkable strength. Some farmers have sown paddy seeds and cultivated vegetable gardens, pouring all their efforts into enhancing food security in their communities despite the echoes of conflict. To support these efforts, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is providing certified paddy seeds, vegetable seeds, corn seeds, agricultural tools, organic fertilizer, and training in model agricultural production to enhance crop yields. These resources are intended for farmers who are striving to feed their families.
