Eleven Agricultural Districts

The Eleven Agricultural Districts (Burmese: လယ်တွင်း ဆယ့်တစ်ခရိုင်) were a historic agricultural administrative division established during the reign of King Anawrahta (r. 1044–1077), the founder of the First Burmese Empire. Located in the modern-day Kyaukse district in Mandalay Region, these districts served as the heartland of rice cultivation and irrigation development in medieval Burma (now Myanmar), playing a crucial role in the growth and centralization of the Pagan state. This fertile districts became the "Granary of Pagan", ensuring food security for the empire.
