Tun Yat supports small holder farmers in Myanmar through the rental of  high grade affordable farm machinery through a farmer friendly online service, and the provision of farming inputs such as seeds and fertilisers through a credit voucher program.

Utilising technology such as tractors to plough and level rice fields – in contrast to traditional buffalo that requires strenuous physical effort and time, and results in uneven land – ensure that water distribution across rice fields is even, which in turn increases the absorption of fertilisers (and reduction of usage) and the uptake of rice seeds and other crops.

Tun Yat’s support increases income for small and medium-size farmers, and reduces outputs like time savings in harvesting, yield wastage reductions and how farmers use less resources through a mechanisation service. 

Tun Yat tracks their impact with digital record transactions for traceability to see which farmers / village development committees have received input vouchers, and the use of endline / baseline assessments for monitoring and evaluation, as part of a larger UN project that this program falls under.
