The traditional Burmese units of measurement is a system of measurement used in Myanmar. Myanmar was one of three countries that had not adopted the International System of Units (SI) metric system as their official system of weights and measures according to the 2010 CIA Factbook. However, in June 2011, U Kyaw Htoo from the Myanmar government's Ministry of Commerce began discussing proposals to reform the measurement system in Myanmar and adopt the kilogram for domestic trade, reasoning that this would simplify foreign trade which it conducts exclusively in metric; and in October 2013, Pwint San, Deputy Minister for Commerce, announced that the country was preparing to adopt the metric system. As of 2008, the traditional unit of measurement, 'basket', remains widely used in Myanmar's agriculture production.
