据《苗瓦底报》4月12日报道，2022-23财年冬季作物种植季节，实皆省13个特殊地区和那加（那加）民族自治区各县区种植农作物作为冬季作物。 这是从实皆省农业局获悉的信息，目前洋葱的收获已完成100%。
实皆省那加族自治区及其13个府县原计划在2022-23财年冬季作物种植季节种植洋葱4.38万英亩。 实际种植中，种植季末共种植洋葱4.38万亩。 44821亩，超出原计划种植面积1021亩。 收获时，平均每亩产量达到4618.65缅斤。 （1斤约1.6公斤）
According to this data, the onion planting area in Sagaing Province is 44,821 acres, with an average yield of 4,618.65 Myanmar Kyats per acre, and the total onion production in the province has reached 2.07 million Myanmar Kyats. Calculated at 600 Myanmar Jin per ton, the onion production in Sagaing Province is 34.5 tons. So a few days ago, there was a media report that Lashio County shipped 3 tons of onions to Yangon Metropolis in March, and local onion merchants immediately said it was impossible (see the relevant report of "Myanmar China Network" in the "Myanmar News" column on April 70). This is the reason. (Think about it, the winter onion production in Sagaing Province is less than 4 tons. How can the onion production of Lashio County reach 15 tons?) Now the onion production in Sagaing Province has reached 35 tons. In addition to local consumption, some products may be exported abroad. Of course, the premise is to ensure high quality and gain a foothold in foreign markets.
The onion planting area in each special region of Sagaing Province during the 2022-23 winter grain planting season is as follows:
Examining the onion planting area in each special zone, it can be found that Ruimao Special Zone has the largest planting area, and its onion planting area accounts for more than 1/4 of the province's planting area.The planting area of Yinma Bin District is second, accounting for more than one-fifth of the province's planting area.Monywa District ranks third in planting area, accounting for more than one-sixth of the province.The planting area of these three special zones accounts for more than two-thirds of the province's planting area, with planting areas of more than 8000 acres, 9000 acres and 12000 acres respectively.The remaining jurisdictions are all under 5,000 acres.Several of them have only a few hundred acres of planting area, which is really "a handful".
Onions are a common "kitchen crop" on the tables of Myanmar people.Myanmar's consumption is not low, so the onion is widely grown in various provinces and states across the country.In good harvest years (such as this year), onion production is sufficient, and there is an "oversupply" of the product. Onion prices plummet, causing the effect of "cheap grain hurting farmers."In poor harvest years, when farmers reduce planting and production, the price of onions will soar again, and consumers have to complain.Onion exports are now promoted.If we can arrange onion exports in the years when onions are abundant, we can prevent the phenomenon of "cheap grain hurting farmers" from happening.
