Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary Peaceful anti-military coup protests took place in Salingyi Township, Sagaing Region, Myanmar on March 14. This was a small-scale demonstration by local residents holding banners calling for implementation of ILO Article 33, currently classified as low-risk peaceful protest activity.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Sagaing Region is a major agricultural area in Myanmar producing rice, sesame, and peanuts, but direct production disruptions are currently limited
• Salingyi area is located in the Irrawaddy River basin agricultural belt, with potential indirect impact on agricultural distribution networks if protests expand
• Amid ongoing political instability across Myanmar, concerns over increased overall supply-chain risk if regional protest activities spread to other areas
• Currently low direct correlation with major export commodities or mineral resource production areas

3) Watch points

• Track potential additional protests within Sagaing Region and possibility of scale expansion
• Monitor Myanmar military response levels and potential for clashes during protest suppression
• Observe impact of protest spread to Irrawaddy River basin agricultural areas on spring agricultural activities
