Myanmar is scrutinizing out-of-date laws that need amending, says Yan Lin, chairman of the Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Socio-Life Development Committee.

Yan Lin told a roundtable discussion in Nay Pyi Taw on agricultural investment opportunities that changes were coming.

“The committee is scrutinizing 22 laws. We are thinking about the need for amendments to these outdated laws and the drafting of new legislation.

We are striving to achieve development of the agricultural sector on all |fronts. The amendment and enactment of laws is the main duty of |all MPs.”

The discussion mainly focused on agricultural policy, investment law and policy, the protection and promotion of farmers’ rights, the national land use policy of the previous government and the tasks of the committee for scrutinizing seized farmland and other land.

The main outcomes from the discussion will be submitted to Parliament.
