Meet the farmer - Malar Tun

Malar Tun is part of the Roots Myanmar farmers’ collective in Magway region, where she grows sesame and peanuts. We visited her fields and the peanut butter and tahini production facility in Thae Pin Kan Pauk Village in December 2025. We were impressed by her precision and determination. She is punctual, exacting, and deeply responsible in everything she does. As a mother of two and the lead at the Roots production facility, her dedication to making safe, nutritious food is clear. For Malar Tun, caring for her community is just as important as tending her crops.

Every time you buy a Roots Myanmar product you are supporting Malar Tun's work on the ground as she cares for her soil and community.
