Myanmar Aims to be Top Rice Exporter

Don't forget, Myanmar used to be the world's biggest rice exporter. That's a tall order, but industry and government officials have begun drafting plans to revitalize the industry after years of neglect and military mismanagement.

No country's appetite is quite like Myanmar's, which boasts the world's highest annual rice consumption at 210 kg (460 lb) per person. It makes up 75 percent of the country's diet, according to government statistics.
