Finding new potential in the paddies


Cambodia prepares to conduct agriculture census

With US$1 million in aid from Australia, Cambodia is preparing to conduct the nation’s first agriculture census— a thorough study of the Kingdom’s agricultural sector which will research strategies to improve its performance. The entire cost of the project, set to be completed this year, will be US$7 million, according to Agriculture Minister Chan Sarun.


Penny Richards, Australian ambassador to Cambodia, said the census will provide vital data on Cambodia’s agriculture ector which will be used to improve policies and programs to address the needs of Cambodian farmers. The aim is to improve yields and reduce rural poverty. Cambodia is still largely an agricultural country, with between 75 percent and 80 percent of the population working in the sector.
