The region produces groundnut, sesame, canola, bam­boo and rattan in addition to gold and natural resources as well as oil and natural gas. Efforts are being made to generate electric­ity for development of the region.

The Senior General contin­ued to say that it is necessary to encourage manufacturing of products with the use of domes­tic raw materials. If local people strive for manufacturing of agri­cultural produce, it will contribute much to the regional develop­ment. It is necessary to enhance cultivation of rubber in the region and meet the demand of the rub­ber products of the nation so as to develop the nation.

Highly-qualified human re­sources will be required in suc­cessfully undertaking production of the products based on agri­culture and livestock farms. So, the government encourages es­tablishment of agriculture and livestock breeding high schools and institutes across the nation.

The inputs, capitals, tech­niques and good human resourc­es are required for successfully operating the manufacturing pro­cess. In this regard, the country may overcome challenges of ferti­lizers and electricity but critically face high prices of fuel similar to other countries. Myanmar con­sumes more than one million of vehicles and more than 6 million motorcycles as well as millions of fuel gallon on a daily basis. So, all need to save consumption of fuel.

The government has opened basic education schools, colleges and universities for all students to learn education. The govern­ment is responsible for undertak­ing regional development tasks. Improvement of individually so­cio-economic life is concerned with the individual hardworking. Only when it needs to encourage education sector, will the region and the country have abundant human resources. So, everybody needs to encourage learning ed­ucation.

Efficient use of local resourc­es and plans of the State to fulfill needs

The Senior General outlined that it is necessary to encourage business of the rural people in ag­riculture and livestock farms for development of the State econ­omy. Local people have to effi­ciently use the domestic sources. The government will fulfill the requirements.
