Rice - Towards A Better Future| 9mins
Director: Pe Maung Same | Producer: Lindsey Merrison
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: Germany
Synopsis:
"In 2009, two local organizations piloted a project to show that, with enough credit and the right technical support, farmers in the Ayeyarwaddy Delta could substantially increase rice yields and quality, including meeting the exacting standards of the international rice export market. The outcome of the pilot surprised everyone: the harvest more than doubled their profits.
Filmed during an entire rice cycle, this documentary follows the fortunes of one farmer who took part in the project in an area badly affected by Cyclone Nargis: as the initially skeptical Ko Win Khin comes to grips with the new rice-growing techniques and begins to see how they can enhance his traditional methods, miller U Ohn Hann and agronomist U Moe Naing Oo explain how this ground-breaking project could have a major impact for farmers across the country – and help Myanmar regain its position as the rice bowl of Asia."
