1. The document outlines the soybean value chain in Myanmar, which includes smallholder farmers, traders, brokers, tofu processors, oil mills, and locally processed food producers. 2. It notes that 100% of smallholder farmers grow soybeans for food products like tofu, textured soy protein, and traditional soy foods. However, farmers have limited access to new end-product development and market demand information from food processors. 3. New market opportunities have brought private sector investments in three new factories producing wet wholesale and retail packed products as well as dried packed products. This has led to market-driven changes among all stakeholders, including better prices, quality, and quantities of food.
