MAGWAY DIVISION – The Phoenix Guerrilla Force, based in Pakokku District, reported that the soldiers have started harvesting the onions planted on April 4th. It is said that the comrades planted the onion field on their own, with the aim of purchasing an AK automatic rifle worth more than 20 million kyats.
“The onions were planted to buy an AK. We have planted 200 pits of the local type. Not all of them have been harvested yet. We will know how much money we will get only after the sale,” said the officer in charge of the Phoenix Guerrilla Force.
Onions were planted in early January of this year, and it took more than 3 months to plant about 2 and a half acres. He said that the work of watering, clearing, spraying insecticide, fertilizing is done by divided groups.
“After the decision that they were going to plant onions, all the comrades had to do their responsibilities. There were also days of planting, cooking and guarding the camp. Irrigation and spraying of pesticides were also done around the vine,” said May, a female comrade.
He said that when the comrades were not free to work on the farm, people from around the camp helped with the labor and allowed them to cultivate the land without taking any money.
Currently, the revolutionary force has already received more than 30 viss of onions that have been plucked, and depending on the type and size of the onion, the price ranges from at least 1,000 kyat to 1,700 kyats per viss.
