agricultural sector. The agricultural sector, encompassing crops, plantations, livestock, and fisheries, comprised 44% of Myanmar’s national economy in 2007, and 31% of the regional GDP of Ayeyarwady and Yangon Divisions— the sector is the mainstay of the rural economy in the Ayeyarwady Delta area. Livestock plays an important role in the livelihoods of the rural population, both as a source of food and as draught animals for agriculture. Fisheries are also important, as both a subsistence food source for rural communities and for commercial production. Crops: Damage was reported to be about 16,200 hectares of the standing summer paddy crop, equivalent to 80,000 metric tons (MT) of production. In addition, paddy and milled rice in farmers’ storage was damaged or destroyed, estimated at 251,000 MT. The VTA suggests that as much as 28% of agriculture land (172,200 hectares) was damaged. Livestock: There was a significant mortality of livestock, including the deaths of approximately 50% of buffalo and 20% of cattle in the worst-affected townships—and many of the surviving animals were severely weakened due to the ingestion of salt water and lack of food. An estimated 55% of buffalo and cattle are used as draught animals in agricultural production. Fisheries: The damage to capture fisheries, both marine and inland, was mainly caused by the high winds and storm surge. The VTA reports that income from fishing has dropped by half as a result of the cyclone. A total of 136 marine fishing vessels were reported lost, while 168 vessels were damaged but in salvageable condition. Inland fisheries suffered the largest damage in terms of lost or damaged boats, with more than 1,800 licensed boats officially reported lost. The VTA also reports that half of all small boats were lost, as was 70% of fishing gear. Estimated Damage and Losses in the Agricultural Sector (in Kyat million) Industry and Commerce Sector: The main components of the industrial sector in the Ayeyarwady and Yangon Districts (the two affected divisions included in the geographic scope of the assessment) are salt farms, dried fish/shrimp and fish paste production, rice ▇▇▇▇▇, factories, and other small and medium industrial enterprises, and micro-enterprises. Damage and losses in industry reflect primarily the impact of the cyclone in Yangon Division, which accounts for almost 40% of national industrial output. The commerce sector includes wholesale and retail markets, as well as trading firms. Salt Farms: Much of Myanmar’s s...
