Development organizations and farming groups from ethnic minority areas have called on the government to postpone land reforms, saying they will crush indigenous people’s rights. After parliament resumes on Feb. 1, it is due to discuss a land law which has been planned since 2019 as a major reform for the new administration. Myanmar’s second investment policy review urged the government to enact land rights reforms to boost responsible foreign and domestic investment.
