アッサム
Traditionally, farmers from the Pinlaung area grew subsistence crops such as cheroot leaves, maize, and beans. When the opium trade took off in the 1900s, poppy was featured as a major cash crop in the area. However, in recent years, there have been efforts to focus on other saleable crops such as coffee and tea. Now, Pinlaung is the premier tea-growing town in Myanmar, with the Assam tea being the most predominant cultivar grown. Furthermore, cabbage, cauliflower, potato, corn, and sesame grow in abundance due to the favorable climate conditions.
