History (1885-1930) ■ Coffee beans were introduced to Myanmar as far back as 1885. ■ Missionaries initiated coffee growing in Myanmar in 1885 at Myeik and Dawei. ■ Kayin State (Thaung Daung area) established coffee farms at the same time and produced Robusta coffee which still continues to the present day. ■ Catholic missionaries introduced Arabica coffee in 1930 to Southern Shan State. Northern Shan State and in Pyin Oo Lwin (formerly known as May Myo).
- 3. History (1930-1998) ■ From 1930 to 1934, a large (120 acre) Arabica coffee plantation called "Chaungwe" was established at Naung Cho township of Northern Shan State. ■ In 1968 to 1994, Ministry of Industry 1 managed the coffee state farms, especially the Chaungwe(NaungCho township), Pwe Daung(Pyin Oo Lwin township). ■ In 1994, Ministry of Agriculture & Irrigation, carried out the cultivation and production of the crop where it remains to the present day. ■ In 1998, the GOM Heads of State laid down a strategy to extend cultivated areas of Arabica coffee up to 100,000 acres.

- 5. Smallholder farmers in Myanmar ■ farmers in Shan State — the geographic heart of Myanmar — grow a wide range of food including grains, vegetables and fruit like mangos and oranges. Women there traditionally cultivated coffee on small plots around their homes, usually without investing much time or care, selling it for a few hundred kyats per kilo (around 30-40 cents per pound) to local traders when in need of cash for the household. ■ For smallholder farmers in Myanmar’s remote highland communities, gaining access to many basic necessities can be a struggle, whether it’s medicine, education, electricity, mobile phone networks or new machinery for growing food more efficiently and profitably.
