4. Introduction
Rice is cultivated primarily through traditional
farming practices by over 80 percent of
Cambodian farmers. It is the staple food of
Cambodian and is their most important field crop.
Rice is mainly produced.
.

5. Objective
helps promote farmers get new Method for develop
their agriculture
improving the quality and quantity of yield, farmers
are able to increase their income.
.

6. Cause study
- The traditional approach (developing countries)
has been top-down, where agencies involved in
formulating the practices train extension staff,
and the latter is deployed to agricultural farms to
educate farmers.
- Methods of teaching and suggests that with this
traditional approach of educating farmers from
some developing their countries.
.

7. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
1. Poor literacy levels
Cambodia, 77% of adults either have no
education or only have primary school
level education. In fact, 47% did not even
have the opportunity to complete primary
education.
.

8. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
However, with low literacy levels, farmers in
developing countries such as Cambodia
may have difficulty reading and following all
practices outlined.
.

9. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
2. Lack of expertise to monitor farmers
Implementing and complying with
procedures on a day-to-day basis is not an
easy feat as there are many different
guidelines to follow at different stages of a
crop’s
growth cycle.
.

10. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
3. Difficulty in reaching farmers
Most farms and farmers are wide spread all
across Cambodia and physically reaching out
and communicating with them can be a
challenge..
.

11. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
In 2010, based on the ASEANGAP, the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of
Cambodia issued Proclamation No. 099 MAFF
in the
Production of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables
.

12. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
4. Farmers’ reluctance to change
farmers are acclimatized to ancient farming
habits, they may not be willing to learn the
latest farming methodologies.
.

13. Issues of Agriculture in Cambodia
5. Educating students of higher learning on
good agricultural practices.
- practices associated with growing
vegetables- graduation, these students will be
attached to various agricultural agencies and
they can be sent out to the ground level to
train and monitor
Farmers.
.

14. Solution
1. .Liberal and fertilizer
Advise famer to use more fertilizers to ensure
greater grain yield. HYV seeds need 70-90Kg of
nitrogen/nitrate fertilizers per hectare, compare to
only for the traditional seed. So the greatly
stimulated the world’s factory production of more
fertilizers.
.

15. Solution
2. Education
Education and training on system of rice
intensification and pest management should be
extended to farmers so as to increase and
diversify agricultural productivity and minimize
harm to human health and ecosystems.
.

16. Solution
-The farmer know more how to fertilizers
-what kinds of soil suit with the crop
-Using pesticides to resist the diseases and
pest such as the rice blast, bacteria blight,
steam borer, gall midge, brown leaf, hopper,
rugged stunt
.

17. Solution
3. Farm mechanization
Use modern machines in farming. Machine for
ploughing, sowing and harvesting were
recommended to farms to expedite work and
to increase the farmer’s productivity.
.

18. Solution
-Mechanization has been most successful in
Japan with their technology.
-Improvement farm mechanization industrial
machinery (mills, grain dryers, storage
facilities).
.

19. Solution
4.Research
Find the new way how farmers struggle with
crop diseases, optimal use of fertiliser and using
of modern techniques in rice production. There
also appears to be large opportunities in new or
improved rice varieties and seed varieties.
.

20. -Agricultural scientists, through their research plant
breeding to develop several HYV seeds in the major
food grains such as rice and maize.
.

21. Solution
5.The rice export market
-Europe has awarded a preferential status to
Cambodia.
-The private sector has started a number of large
investments in milling.
-Large companies, like Indochina Gateway, have
entered the country and recently it was
announced that the government has eliminated
the export license system.
.

22. Solution
6. Extensive irrigation facilities
Development of hydropower dams on the Upper
Mekong River and its major tributaries will likely
have significant impact not only on aquatic
resources,
.

23. water flow and ecosystems as well as associated
detrimental effects on the environment, but also
on agricultural crop lands, local assets and
communities who rely on natural resources for
their daily basic needs.
.

24. Solution
7. Credit facilities
- The purchase of rice seeds, fertilizers,
pesticides, machines and other farm
necessities needs more money. Poor peasants
in Cambodia have to fine ways and capitals to
cope with their financial needs.
- The government should provides subsidies
and commercial banks and finance houses
provide credit facilities to enable farmers to
benefit from the Green Revolution.
.

25. 8. Improved transport network
- Farms products, especially when there is a
bumper crop have to be handled by speedy
transport network to deliver the products to the
local market or the exporting port.
.

26. Solution
- The government should build more roads
highways and railways to cope with the
greater volume of farm products from the
farms.
.

27. Conclusions
The establishment of a national farm credit
system, and a radical increase in the titling of
agricultural lands, so that the average farmer
has adequate access to credit and the ability to
invest in production enhancements (equipment,
IR seeds, crop inputs, labor, irrigation, grain
storage, land improvements), should be made
a priority.
.

28. conclusions
Plans for expanding irrigation should be
implemented in a gradual sustainable
fashion. This means learning from past
mistakes and correcting broken,
mismanaged, or ineffective systems that
already exist.
