As the State administration Council has cut out the inflow of commodities into northern Shan State since November, the businesses there are hurt.

Mainly because of the higher price of fuel oil and the scarcity of raw materials, some businesses are finding it difficult to continue existing.

Livestock industry was hurt because the prices of raw materials for animal food and fuel oil were going up and many people depending on the industry were hurt as well, U Tin Maung Thein, a resident of Kyaukme in northern Shan State, told CNI News.

" Chicken feed is not allowed to enter and the prices are going up quite a bit as well and so is pig food. So, the people living in the livestock industry are finding it difficult. And the prices of fuel oil are so high. If a truck loaded with goods is not allowed to enter, people living in northern Shan State can't make a living." he said.

The flow of goods had been cut out in order that foodstuffs could not reach into the hands of EAOs, said a resident of Kyaukme.

" People in most of the territories captured by EAOs are in a crisis. It is the result of cutting out the food to EAOs by the military council." he said.

The Myanmar Tatmadaw has cut out the flow of goods to EAOs and vice versa in northern Shan State.

Trucks loaded with foodstuffs and medicine have been banned to run on the Mandalay-Nawnghkio Road, the Yatsauk-Nawnghkio Road, the Yatsauk-Nanglang Road and the Panglong Road up to now.
