Ayeyarwady Region, Agricultural region in southwest Myanmar
The coastal Ayeyarwady Region spans 35,964 square kilometers between the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, featuring numerous waterways and agricultural lands.
The region experienced British colonial rule until 1948 and later faced significant transformation when Cyclone Nargis struck in 2008, causing over 146,000 casualties.
The population of 6.32 million inhabitants includes Bamar, Rakhine, and Karen ethnic groups, with 88 percent residing in rural communities across 26 townships.
The region consists of six administrative districts with Pathein as its capital, connecting to major areas through waterways and land routes.
Local farmers produce such quantities of rice, maize, and sesame that Ayeyarwady Region earned the designation as Myanmar's primary agricultural center.
