TOKYO—Toyota Motor Corp. said it has begun producing cars at a new plant in Myanmar that had been on hold after the country’s military seized power in a coup last year.

Toyota began assembling one or two cars a day at its plant in Yangon last month, a spokeswoman for the Japanese auto maker said Wednesday. She said Toyota wanted to contribute to the industrial development of Myanmar and the livelihood of local employees and their families.
