As a non-profit organization, the Myanmar Pulses, Beans, Maize and Sesame Seeds Association (MPBMSMA) was established in 1992 with the goal of supporting sustainable agricultural practices and promoting fair opportunities for local farmers, particularly those involved in pulse, bean, maize, and sesame seed cultivation.
Myanmar ranks among the highest global producers of pulses and sesame seeds, with significant contributions from rural communities throughout the country. The association’s executive committee members, elected by members for the 2019-2021 term, include individuals dedicated to supporting agricultural development, from providing resources to enhancing knowledge-sharing opportunities.
Our primary mission is to empower farmers by facilitating access to cultivation areas, quality seeds, and essential agricultural knowledge. By fostering collaboration and sharing resources, we aim to strengthen the agricultural sector, improving livelihoods for rural communities across Myanmar.
