The study assessed Myanmar’s existing national program for large-scale growing of biofuel crops, and the policies to encourage growers, to determine their impact on the well-being of the rural poor. It also investigated the feasibility of establishing small-scale extraction plants that can generate income and job opportunities in rural areas.
Included was the process of establishing biofuel processing plants, and to learn the business arrangements and mechanisms to encourage public–private participation in biofuel production and distribution.
