Abstract: A review on the current agricultural marketing systems in the Union of Myanmar is made to identify problems of agricultural marketing for major agricultural products, and to suggest future policy directions to improve the agricultural marketing systems. It is necessary to establish an agricultural marketing body at the department level, and government bodies involved in agricultural trading should be privatized. Investment in marketing facilities should be increased, and agricultural cooperatives should play an important role in modernization of agricultural marketing. The wholesale markets in major cities should strengthen functions of wholesale selling.
