History
[edit]In early 1912 Hkrangkao was visited by Captain B. E. A. Pritchard while undertaking exploration work in Northern Burma. Pritchard observed the local farming practices while the country was undergoing a crop failure, with up to six crops in each field and Caryota urens planted to be consumed to avert famines.[2]
