Work Undertakings : Efforts for food sufficiency and development

The Kayah State Government is stepping up its efforts to ensure local food sufficiency and promote regional development. On Saturday, Chief Minister U Ant Maw visited the Loikaw Agricultural Research Farm and observed the harvesting of the Yezin-1 Pawsan rice variety from a test plantation.

He urged officials to continue agricultural research to support the development of the agricultural sector in the state. The Chief Minister then proceeded to Basic Education Post-Primary School (Namt Baw Wam, ), where he inspected thriving banana plantations cultivated as part of the school nutrition programme.

He also instructed officials to make preparations for potential El Niño-related impacts. At the 132 kV Loikaw Main Substation, the Chief Minister observed the substation's operations and instructed officials to ensure systematic power transmission and proper maintenance of the equipment.
