MAPS: Myanmar Agricultural Performance Panel Survey

From February–March 2022 to January–March 2026, the Myanmar Agricultural Performance Survey (MAPS) is a nationwide, phone-based panel survey conducted biannually. It collects data from approximately 5,000 households on farm characteristics, cultivated area, crops planted, input use, crop marketing, and constraints affecting agricultural activities. The survey, a sub-sample of the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey, is designed to be representative at the agro-ecological zone level.

• Analyzing farm management practices and input use from household-level data.
• Assessing security-related challenges and marketing behavior for crop farmers.
• Monitoring changes in agricultural assets and access to services over time.

Strengths

• High-frequency data collection with eight completed biannual rounds from 2022 to 2026.
• Nationwide panel design with a target of approximately 5,000 households, achieving 4,740 respondents in Round 6.
• Explicit objective of achieving representativeness at the agro-ecological zone level.
