| Political/administrative |
|
| Map extracted from the section GENERAL of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. This map portrays Myanmar basic
geographical information such as political and administrative
boundaries, populated places, etc. State/Division, District and
Township codes and names constitute the basis for all the
tabular information available from the agricultural survey.
Boundaries were compiled by Suntac Technologies, Inc from
national topographic map series.

|
| Population density |
|
| Map extracted from the section GENERAL of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. This map portrays the population
density (persons/sqkm) aggregated at Township administrative level.
Townships located in Mandalay, Tanintharyi and Shan North had
no population data available; instead, the total population
was available by District. Therefore, gaps were filled by using
District averages.

| Rainfall (annual average) |
|
|
|
Map extracted from the section CLIMATE of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. Data source is the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) database,
which collects records for a variable range of years
depending on the parameter considered. Information is available
as average, by station and per month.

|
| Net sown area (ha) |
|
| Map extracted from the section LAND USE of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. This map portrays land utilization,
particularly areas designated to crop production, as aggregated values
at District level according to 2001-2002 survey.
|
| Irrigated areas (ha) |
|
| Map extracted from the section IRRIGATION AND WATER RESOURCES of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. Irrigated areas can be managed by
the Irrigation Department (ID), the Water Resources Utilization
Department (WRUD) or private operators. The total area is
considered as the sum of the net sown irrigated areas.

| Rice crop |
|
|
|
Map and table extracted from the section CROPS/Cereals of the atlas.
The crop maps portray annual data
for sown and harvested areas (ha), yield (kg/ha)
and production (t). The main map displays data for the sown
area while one or two smaller maps portrays yield and production
data. Data can be available for three seasons (summer, monsoon
and winter) and as total value.

|
| Total Cattle (no.) |
|
| Map extracted from the section LIVESTOCK AND AQUACULTURE of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. Most cattle play a multi purpose
role: -principal source of draft
power for cultivation, -providers of organic fertilizer and
-mean of transport in rural areas. Cattle also represent the
most important financial assets possessed by most farming families.

|
|
| Aquaculture (ha) |
|
| Map extracted from the section LIVESTOCK AND AQUACULTURE of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. Fisheries data are based on fisheries
ponds and prawn ponds only. Data are not available for river and
marine fisheries. The map portrays the total area (ha) of fish and prown
ponds according to the 2001-2002 survey.
|
| Fertilizers/pesticides |
|
| Maps extracted from the section INPUT of the Agricultural
Atlas of the Union of Myanmar. One of the main factors limiting
crop production is pest infestation. Necessary countermeasures
include systematic use of both organic and chemical protections,
though proper care is exercised in usage and application of
pesticides to minimize hazards and environment pollution.
The map portrays fertilizers and pesticides input, agregated by
District, according to the 2001-2002 survey.
