- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

Theoritical Study on The Impact of Trade Liberalization to The Economic Perfo...inventionjournals
This research purposed to: 1) analyze the full impact of trade liberalization on economic performance of maize in Indonesia. 2) Analyze the impact of external shock for the economic performance of corn in Indonesia on trade liberalization era. This research using secondary data about 1975 – 2014, that gotten from many sources, there are BPS, Kementan, APPI, , FAOSTAT, NASS-USDA, ERS-USDA, Unites States of Cencus Beureau, EPI, and Worldfood. Analyze of data using system of simultaneous equations (2SLS). The results of research show that: 1) when the trade liberalization totally implemented, the world corn import had been increased higher than the increment of world corn export, so the world corn price is increase. For Indonesia, if compared with basic condition, although the world corn price increase but the effect of totally implementation trade liberalization (import corn price equal with world corn price ) so Indonesian import corn price is lower than before, then made the decline of Indonesian corn price and the increment of Indonesian corn import. 2) the increment of corn’s demand from main importer countries and the decrease of corn production from main exporter countries on trade liberalization era cause the increment of world corn price. That increase of world corn price causing the increment of Indonesian corn import price then made increase of Indonesian corn price and decrease of Indonesian corn import price. On the other hand, Indonesian corn production is increase.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Shocks, Production, Exports and Market Prices:
An Analysis of the Rice Sector in Myanmar
We thank the Myanmar Rice Federation for providing data and other information on Myanmar’s rice exports.
2. SUMMARY
• Rice exports exceeded 2 mn tons/year each year since 2019-20, except for 2020-21 (the
peak of the pandemic).
• Trade across land borders (mainly to China and Thailand) accounted for over half of
exports each year from 2012-13 through 2017-18, but this trade fell to an average of
only 470K tons/year (21% of total trade) from 2019-20 to 2022-23.
• Domestic rice prices (Emata, wholesale Yangon) tracked Thai export prices measured at
prevailing market (kyat/USD) exchange rates (official rates or parallel market) suggesting
strong linkages with the international market
• Simulations of the rice market developments in 2022-23 (a 10 percent decrease in rice
productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in rice exports) result in a 33 percent increase
in the domestic price, a 5 percent fall in rice production and a 10 percent drop in
consumption.
• Poor households suffer the largest declines in rice consumption – by 12 to 13
percent; rice consumption of the non-poor falls by 8 to 10 percent.
3. PLAN OF PRESENTATION
• Rice exports by source and by quality of rice
• Domestic and International (Border) Prices
• Partial Equilibrium Model of Myanmar’s Rice Sector
• Model Simulation Results
• Summary and Conclusions
4. Myanmar Rice Exports, 2008-09 to 2021-22*
Notes: All exports to Thailand across land borders are milled rice (not brokens).
Exports across land borders to China include both broken and non-broken rice.
Data from 2008-09 to 2017-18 is for April to March; data for 2018-19 to 2021-22 is for
October to September. Data shown for 2018 is April-September 2018.
Source: MRF (2023) data.
• Trade across land borders
(mainly to China and
Thailand) accounted for
over half of exports each
year from 2012-13 through
2017-18.
• Rice trade with China has
declined sharply since then,
however.
• From 2018-19 through 2021-
22, exports through seaports
accounted for 79% of
exports (an average of 1.8
mn tons out of a total of 2.3
mn tons per year).

5. Myanmar Rice Exports by Type of Rice (Apr 2022 - Feb 2023)
Notes: - A Grade (also called A 1:2) and B Grade (also called B 1:2) are 100 percent
broken, sold mainly for export to China and Europe. Both are well-milled Sortex rice; A
grade is polished rice, B grade is not polished. Domestic rice is typically a lower quality
than either A Grade or B Grade.
Source: MRSF (2023) data.
• The average price of all
exports in February 2023 was
$469 USD/ton, equal to
85.1% of the f.o.b. Bangkok
price of A1 rice.
• In 2022-23, A and B grade
rice accounted for 11% and
28% of the quantity of
exports, mainly traded across
land borders with China and
Thailand.
• The quality and price of
rice exports over land
borders was 11% to 17%
lower than exports by
sea (5% brokens).
6. Myanmar and Thai Rice Export Prices, 2009-23
• Myanmar’s export price
was on average 15
percent below Thailand’s
export price between
2013-14 and 2017-18,
though the gap widened
in 2018-19 and 2019-20.
• Average export prices of
Myanmar rice in 2020-21
were only 19 percent
below the average export
price for Thailand (fob, A1
grade), however.

7. Rice Prices in Myanmar and Thailand, 2013-2023
• The wholesale price of rice
in Yangon (Emata variety)
closely tracked export prices
of Thai A1 rice (converted to
kyat at the official exchange
rate) from 2014 through
2018, but the two series
diverged from 2019 through
mid-2021.
• Exports of some grades of
rice were still profitable,
however, as evidenced by
the large volume of trade
(especially over land borders
to China).

• The average real (inflation-
adjusted) export price of A1
rice in Thailand from July
2014 to June 2021 was 821
(2023) Kyat/kg, 23 percent
higher than the average real
wholesale price of Emata
rice in Yangon (670 Kyat/kg).
• Between July 2021 and
January 2023, the real price
of rice (Emata wholesale,
Yangon) rose by 61%, while
Thailand’s price rose by
48%.

• Domestic rice prices (Emata,
wholesale Yangon) tracked Thai
export prices measured at
official (kyat/USD) ex rates from
June 2020 to Oct 2021.
• From Nov 2021 to Jan 2023,
domestic prices more closely
tracked Thai prices measured
using weighted average ex
rates (65% official – 35%
parallel market). This average
reflects the share of forex (35%)
that exporters were allowed to
keep.

10. Real Rice Prices (2023 Kyat/kg), 2019-2023
• Domestic prices have been
consistently below Thai export
prices measured at parallel
market exchange rates.
• The large increase in domestic
prices in Feb 2023 reflects
lower domestic production, high
macro-inflation, and a loss of
competitiveness relative to Thai
rice at official ex rates.
• Nonetheless, rice exports
appear to remain profitable at
world prices converted to kyat
at the parallel exchange rate.

• Own-price and
expenditure elasticities
for rice are higher for
poor households than for
non-poor households (i.e.
demand by non-poor
households is less
responsive to changes in
prices or incomes).
• Likewise, own-price and
expenditure elasticities of
demand are rural than for
urban households.
13. Supply, Demand and Exports
• Without external trade,
supply equals demand
when price is P0.
• At a border price of
P1, supply increases
to QS1 and demand
falls to QD1 resulting
in exports of QS1-
QD1.

• Sim 1: 20% and 10% reductions
in urban and rural household
incomes, respectively, along
with a 10% decline in rice
production, leads to a 65K ton
reduction in rice exports.
• Sim 2: A 20% increased in world
rice prices leads to a 460K ton
increase (3.7%) in rice
production and a 1.1 mn ton
(45.7%) increase in exports.
• Combining Sim 1 and Sim 2,
exports increase by 370K tons
(15.4%) relative to the base.

23. SUMMARY
• Rice exports exceeded 2 mn tons/year each year since 2019-20, except for 2020-21 (the
peak of the pandemic).
• Trade across land borders (mainly to China and Thailand) accounted for over half of
exports each year from 2012-13 through 2017-18, but this trade fell to an average of
only 470K tons/year (21% of total trade) from 2019-20 to 2022-23.
• Domestic rice prices (Emata, wholesale Yangon) tracked Thai export prices measured at
prevailing market (kyat/USD) exchange rates (official rates or parallel market) suggesting
strong linkages with the international market
• Simulations of the rice market developments in 2023-24 (a 10 percent decrease in rice
productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in rice exports) result in a 33 percent increase
in the domestic price, a 5 percent fall in rice production and a 10 percent drop in
consumption.
• Poor households suffer the largest declines in rice consumption – by 12 to 13
percent; rice consumption of the non-poor falls by 8 to 10 percent.
