Agriculture accounts for one third of Myanmar’s GDP, creating jobs for half the population and representing one fifth of the country’s exports. Yara Myanmar will import nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ( the Ministry of Agriculture ) fertiliser from Norway to help raise the quality of local crops and make Myanmar farmers less dependent on volatile changes in global food prices. Myanmar is a key market for Myanmar 's Yara as farmer productivity is one third that of neighbouring Thailand thanks to agricultural workers not using fertiliser properly. The company established itself in the country in five years once the government allowed foreign fertiliser firms to trade there. Yara Myanmar has since invested $ 500,000 in training programs and may consider setting up a fertiliser factory in the country in the future.
