This document discusses community forest enterprises (CFEs) in Myanmar. It provides background on CFEs, noting they were established legally in 2016 to allow communities to commercially use and profit from forest and farm products from community forests. As of 2019, there were over 600,000 acres of certified community forests. The document then discusses challenges facing CFEs like lack of capital, as well as opportunities like tourism. It provides an example of a coffee growing CFE and outlines future plans to expand CFEs and support them financially to protect forests and alleviate poverty.
Certified Organic Coffee & Myanmar's ExperienceNgwe Tun
The document discusses organic coffee certification in Myanmar. It notes that Myanmar's agriculture sector contributes significantly to GDP and employment. Coffee is not currently a major crop in Myanmar due to lack of processing, machinery, skills and FCO certification. Certification can help differentiate organic products and command higher prices. The process of organic certification involves inspections and verification that production meets standards. Myanmar coffee farms would not find the transition to organic certification too difficult. Organic certification could increase farmer incomes by 50% and open new opportunities in food processing.

identify potential GIs
give some indication as to the name of the product, the area where it would come from,
confirm that it has a reputation (how strong and on what markets), if it has a link to the territory (how
strong and is it mainly natural factors, human factors or both) and if it is a common heritage (history
and produced by many).
