3. I. Introduction
Most of Cambodia’s population depends on agriculture for its
livelihoods, including sub-sectors such as livestock rearing, fishing
and forest exploitation.
Cambodian farming systems are largely subsistence oriented and
most agricultural activity is based on low-input, rain-fed production
systems, especially paddy rice production.
Between 20 and 30 percent of landowners hold 70 percent of the
country’s land, while 40 percent of rural households occupy only 10
percent. Approximately 20 percent of rural households are landless
and 25 percent own less than 0.5 ha.
Slow growth rate (3% per annum) leading declining share in the
economy
Agriculture development for sustainable growth and effective
poverty reduction (World Bank 2006)

4. I. Introduction (Con’t)

5. I. Introduction (Con’t)
• Irrigation network: small irrigated area (7% of arable land)
• Land: many landless (20%) and idle land
• Cropping know-how: poor extension service (500 extension
officers nationwide)
• Agriculture Inputs: counterfeits (70%, WB 2003), high input
costs
• Tools and machinery: Obsolete tools (5,000 tractors nationwide)

6. I. Introduction (Con’t)

7. I. Introduction (Con’t)
• Demand Constraints- Large imports, Lack of investment in agro-
industry, Poor Export Performance

8. I. Introduction (Con’t)
• External Demand
• Market access under MFN tariff rate-148 WTO member
countries
• Market access under preferential treatment-ASEAN: exports
under CEPT rate, China: duty free export of 297 agricultural
products under Early Harvest Agreement, EU: duty free exports
under EBA Initiative
• Poor Export Performance

9. I. Introduction (Con’t)
•Poor export performance because of
•Strong seasonality and volatile yield
•Inefficient export procedure
•Poor trade-related institution (ex. Sanitary inspection office)
•Livestock Production Issues-outbreak of diseases and lack of
resources and capacity to effectively prevent the spread of diseases and
protect the livestock-Climate Change
•The reluctance of some investors to invest in poultry projects after the
incidence of bird flu.
•Lack of market competition for meat and animal feed.

20. XI. Conclusion
• It is concluded that the agriculture sectors of Cambodia contribute 30
percentages of annual economic growth rates through transforming
traditional agriculture to an innovative agriculture and economy orientated
agriculture.
• Cambodian people ensured food security and increased incomes and
improved their nutrition status through improving productivity and
diversification, and commercialization of agriculture covering to short term
of the two objective with improve agriculture productivities and diversify
agriculture and build farmers’ resilience to adapt to climate change and
promoting market access of agriculture products. To achieve proposed
objectives, we need to apply the strategies of improving farmers’ capacities
to raise productivity and diversify toward higher-value products; increasing
cultivation more than one time and expand their cultivation areas,
mainstreaming genders in agriculture sectors; improving capacities of
farmers to adapt to the climate change; enhancing economic cooperation
with other countries to attract private investment in agriculture; improving
standard agriculture product qualities. To be implemented the strategies,
large amount of financial resources, human resources and materials needed
that the Cambodia in particular MoAFF cooperates with other countries.
