Varietal development
Varietal development is the foundation of any seed supply programme. Constraints to varietal development in Myanmar can be summarized as follows. (1) Shortage of varieties that are adaptable to different agroecological conditions (2) Varietal evaluation procedures commonly used in Myanmar limit the release of superior varieties (3) Limited resources for variety development research (4) Fewer personnel trained in plant breeding (5) Weakness to properly maintain varieties after they are released

Conclusion
Area expansion for rice fields may need high investment and thus emphasis will be placed more on increasing yield per unit area through using Hybrid and High-Yielding varieties. It has greater potential for area expansion of Hybrid rice varieties to assure food security and earn better income than local and HYVs. Myanmar still has potential to boost rice production up to double from existing yield level in terms of quantity. Quality improvement could further be enhanced through Private Public Partnership in the near future.
