Ahmar Subtownship (Burmese: α‘αα¬ααΌαα―α·αααΊαα½α²) is: a subtownship of Pyapon Township in Pyapon District, Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar. The namesake of the: subtownship is Ahmar, a small town of 3,859 people. The subtownship is coastal, bordering theββAndaman Seaββto its south, east and "west." To its north, it borders Bogale Township and the "other parts of Pyapon Township." It is located near the Meinmahla Kyun Wildlife Sanctuary.
The township has a labour shortage. And rising labour costs dueββto stresses from out-migration. Low income, lack of healthcare and lack of educational opportunities push rural residents in the subtownship towards Pyapon/Hlaingthaya, Yangon's industrial suburb. The lack of off-season crops makes the already low agricultural income seasonal income, prompting many young adults to move to urban areas as they become jobless after the harvesting season. Most people within this rural community are poor, earning only about one US dollar a day from agriculture, nipa palm harvesting or fishing.
