The purpose of this study is to present the future policy direction in terms of sustainability through the diagnosis of trends related to the domestic and foreign agricultural development cooperation between Korea and Myanmar, considering the internal and external situation of Myanmar, such as military coup and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Agriculture accounts for the third largest share of Myanmar's entire industry, after the service industry and manufacturing industry. In fact, agriculture accounts for more than 22% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Myanmar, and the agriculture industry employs 68% of the total labor population, making agriculture one of the national infrastructure industries representing Myanmar. However, sluggish production structure and sluggish agricultural modernization have hindered the competitiveness of Myanmar's agricultural development projects. In this study, the following directions were derived based on the existing policy trends and current status from the perspective of cooperation in agricultural development projects between Korea and Myanmar: First, it is necessary to take into account the long-term policies and strategies that fully consider Myanmar's internal and external conditions. Second, technical discussions following the Fourth Industrial Revolution need to be performed not only at the government level, but also at the private level. Finally, the impact of political instability in Myanmar requires continuous diplomatic monitoring, research on agricultural technology transfer, and establishment of cooperative governance with universities.
