The Kachin State Government is working to enhance agricultural and livestock breeding activities within the state to ensure food security. To achieve this, efforts are being made to provide financial support and encouragement to local farmers. As part of these efforts, Kachin State Chief Minister U Khet Htein Nan conducted a field inspection at a local poultry breeding business in Myitkyina Township on March 11. During the field inspection, the Chief Minister, accompanied by state government ministers and relevant departmental officials, visited the farm of breeder U Peter Maran Gondaung Zaw , located in the Kyarapatty Ward of Myitkyina Township.

They inspected the conditions of over 2,000 indigenous chicks being raised on the farm, the systematic breeding of more than 700 high-quality, purebred local chickens across five poultry sheds, and the operations involving modern machinery used for hatching eggs. The Chief Minister and party toured and examined these activities in detail. Following the inspection, the Chief Minister held a coordination meeting at the Malika Hall of the State Government Office to ensure that the projects and activities funded by the 2024-2025 fiscal year state budget (capital fund) are completed 100% by the end of the fiscal year.
