Since the beginning of November,2002, start Peace and Development Council ( SPDC ) land and Agricultural Corporation (LAC) authorities from township in Tavoy district arrived to the paddy fields of villages and restricted everyone not to sell their rice to others before they finish selling their ' dutiful rice ' to the government.

The information said that the LAC authorities from Yebyu, Tavoy, Laung Lon, and Theyetchaung townships in Tavoy district are arriving in time while the peasants are harvesting the rice from their fields. The authorities asked for the support from village level PDCS members and started buying rice harvested by the peasants. The peasants have sell what the authorities called 'dutiful rice' as compulsory deal in government confined price.
'Dutiful rice ' means a must to sell rice to the government's Land and agricultural corporation' on the 12 to 15 baskets per acre. The government confined prize was 350 kyat per basket last year while the local price in those areas was around about 850 kyat per basket. The normal yield of rice per acre used to be 50 baskets if there were no destructions and if the peasant have enough time to care their field.
More ever; according to the last year experiences the peasants have to sell the rest of their rice after they sell out ' to the military as the military limited for them, and they also have to return the debt they owed by purchasing fertilizer to LAC in rice with government confined prize.
As 2002 rainy season brought flood destruction in some areas the yield of some peasants' rice field reduced. They will not get more than 30 baskets per acres; even some were abandon their plantations. Most of the peasants worry that they will have to buy rice from other on local price and sell it to SPDC', authorities to fill up their quotas with government confined price.
