MyOpenAds Chief Minister Daw Lae Lae Maw, who has been tackling misuse of the region’s natural resources since she took office earlier this year, said the government is looking into land use because it has been a major driver of social and environmental issues in Myanmar’s southernmost state. In mid-August, the local government discussed the future of land confiscated by the military government, to loan to private companies for agriculture projects, and agreed it should be taken back if it was not being used, she said. The local government has also announced the decision on its website. The state has the right to take back farmland if it has not been cultivated for four years after an initial land-lease agreement contract is signed, under the Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands Management Law of 2012, said Daw Lae Lae Maw. “We have been surveying unused land and submitted our findings to the central government,” she said. “Once we have taken the land back, it will be given to its original owners, or to migrants who want to return home, to allow them to cultivate small-scale farms.” In practice, taking back unused land may take some time, according to U Myo Tint Tun, deputy secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock office, who said the regional government only has partial authority over land use. U Hlwan Moe, director of the Agricultural Land Management and Statistics Department, said the local government can seize a plot of less than 50 acres, but that the fate of larger plots lies with the recently formed Union-level Central Committee for the Management of Vacant, Fallow and Virgin Lands. He confirmed that anyone allowed to cultivate vacant, fallow or virgin land must carry out their proposed business plan within four years. “Most companies fail to follow the law, so issues arise,” he said. “The regional government can carry out onsite visits and if they find unused land they can submit the case to the Central Committee.” If the committee determines that the land should be returned, the landholder will have to respect the decision, he said. Some larger plots in Tanintharyi Region were confiscated by the military government, which ordered private companies to meet agriculture production goals in the 1990s and 2000s, said U Hlwan Moe. In 1999, for example, the government launched a palm oil drive in Tanintharyi Region, granting permission over several years to 44 companies to develop a total of almost 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) in Tanintharyi, according to a recent report by Fauna & Flora International (FFI). Much of the land was formerly forested, or farmed by local villagers, who were told to make way for the projects. The government at the time hoped to make Myanmar self-sufficient in oil palm production, according to FFI, but paid little regard to land occupation by local populations, land suitability and conservation of forest reserves, water sources or endangered species. Companies cut down forests, but many failed to develop plantations, in some cases because the land was unsuitable, or because they had only agreed to the project under state instruction and had no interest in production. Of the 1 million acres, almost 350,000 have been planted, while Myanmar still imports around 400,000 tonnes of palm oil annually, according to FFI. U Hla Than, managing director of oil palm company Pyi Phyo Tun International, said the military government gave his company permission in 2006 to turn more than 30,000 acres of forest land in Maw Taung town, Myeik township, into palm oil plantations. The decision to take back unused land is “not a problem for companies that are actually running agricultural projects,” he said. Only 60 percent of Pyi Phyo Tun’s land is suitable for growing oil palm, while the other 40pc is made up of hills and valleys that are too steep to plant, he said. The company has planted 15,000 acres so far. The land lease agreement with the government is for 30 years and the company has to pay annual tax to the regional Forestry Department, he said, at around K2500 per acre. It paid tax on 11,800 acres under last year’s contract with the regional department, but has since expanded production. Other large plots of land have been rented voluntarily by companies wanting to cultivate seasonal crops, or for livestock farming, mining or other projects, said U Hlwan Moe. In some cases, the companies have not followed through on their plans. In Sagaing and Ayeyarwady regions, some companies have already had to return land because they failed to meet the four-year deadline, he added, while in other cases, companies have voluntarily returned the land to the regional government as they are not able to use it any more.

  • The Ancient City of Thagara: Cultural and Social Change in the Buddhist
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online 1 Dawei Buddhist culture: a hybrid borderland Myanmar Historical Research Journal (21) June 2011, pp.1-62 Elizabeth Moore 1 Dawei is both hybrid and borderland, its Buddhist culture a stylistic and territorial puzzle. Far from the ‗heartland‘ yet passed from one major polity to another over the centuries, its pagodas and monasteries provided a physical and aesthetic means to asserted distance and accommodate ‗other‘. Some objects and ideas were imported; others grafted the new onto local forms to produce hybrid styles, while others are uniquely local.2 Is Dawei culture similarity or a new unification of the cultural diversity of Pyu, Bagan, Sri Lanka, Sukhothai and Ayutthaya? This report argues the contrary, that Dawei resilience in the face of continual threats sustained a local cultural personality that has survived until the present. The question is addressed by first classifying the sites of Dawei into four cultural zones and then discussing the extraordinary range of artefacts from these zones by material.3 This is preceded by a chronological summary to illustrate the often turbulent history and local chronicles. Figure 1. Glazed wares from Sin Seik,circa 15-17th century CE, paintings by Myint Aung, Ministry of Culture, June 2010. Dawei urban and cultural significance The earliest illustration of the process of accommodation and separation described above can be seen in the ‗Dawei Pyu‘ of the first millennium CE. 4 The majority of these come from the large site of Thagara5 [/tha ga ra/] founded in 754 CE (116 ME), with the only text source being the Dawei chronicles.

  • Region-Specific Conflict Considerations – Rakhine And
    6 Region-Specific Conflict Analysis Part 6.1 6 Rakhine 6.1 In this section: A. Regional Context B. Conflict Dynamics C. Key Human Rights Implications for the O&G Sector A. Regional Context Rakhine State is located in the western part of Myanmar, with a long coastline on the Bay of Bengal to the west, and a shorter border with Bangladesh to the north. The state is separated from the rest of Myanmar by the Rakhine Yoma, a mountain range running north-south and rising to 3,000m at its highest point. Only three roads cross these mountains, the main one being Magway to Ann, then Pyay to Toungup to the south, then Yegyi to Gwa, in the far south. The state is divided into four districts, with a total of 17 townships. The population of around 3.3 million is made up of a majority Rakhine Buddhists, and a significant minority (estimated at 30+ per cent) of Muslims. In some areas, particularly northern Rakhine State, there is a large majority of Muslims; in some other areas there is a reasonably large Chin minority. Apart from the capital Sittwe, the population of the rest of the state is overwhelmingly rural. It is one of the poorest states/regions of the country, along with Chin State. B. Conflict Dynamics Rakhine State has been little affected by armed conflict in recent decades. There are a number of Rakhine armed groups, but these are very small, and most of them are not based in Rakhine State, but rather in Kachin or Kayin states, where they have fought alongside larger armed groups.
