Pakokku, River port township in central Myanmar
Pakokku extends along the western bank of the Irrawaddy River, featuring sandy terrain and agricultural lands supported by river deposits.
The settlement developed as a crucial trading point at the confluence of the Irrawaddy and Chindwin rivers, controlling downstream navigation routes.
Local communities maintain traditional practices of extracting yellow dye from acacia trees and processing sugar from toddy palm trees.
The township includes essential infrastructure such as an airfield at Lanywa, a diesel-electric plant, and multiple river ports for transportation.
The surrounding region produces a specific type of corn primarily cultivated for its husk, which serves in the manufacturing of yawpet cheroots.
