Abstract

Drip irrigation systems provide the most water efficiency in the dry season in Cambodia. In Agriculture 4.0, MAFF signed an MoU with a private company to build 10,000 greenhouses to supply 400 tons of crops annually. The objective of this review paper is to synthesize the literature on drip irrigation of greenhouse crops and the benefits of drip irrigation in greenhouses. Drip irrigation enables us to: reduce the impact of drought and climate change on food production; avoid contamination of groundwater and rivers caused by fertilizer leaching; support rural communities, reduce poverty, and reduce migration to cities. Moreover, it has the highest water efficiency in the dry season. In greenhouses, water and fertilizer usage efficiency is improved in the rainy seasons by using plastic covers on the roof. Therefore, Agriculture 4.0, combined with drip irrigation and greenhouses, helps farmers grow crops throughout the year. Farmers' knowledge should be upgraded in using, maintaining, and repairing both drip irrigation systems and greenhouses.

Abstract

Lack of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is a high risk for people who are living in urban and rural areas in Svay Rieng province. This study has three objectives: (a) to assess the current impact of climate change on rural WASH; (b) to examine the adaptation systems of rural WASH as they respond to climate change; and (c) to determine the elements of appropriate mechanisms and supporting systems for the sustainability of rural WASH's climate change adaptation. As a methodology, this research surveyed 136 samples from 8 districts in Svay Rieng province. The results found that knowledge and awareness of people on climate change were at 92.65%. The main factors that cause climate change are burning fossil fuels like oils, gasoline, and coal. The sensitive sectors impacted by climate change are water and sanitation. There are two kinds of elements: appropriate mechanisms and supporting systems for the sustainability of rural water supply. To improve future rural WASH in local communities and adaptation to climate change, people should focus on using high-tech infrastructure for water supply stations such as safe water pipe systems, water treatment stations, pump wells, and ponds that are resilient and adapt to climate impact.

Abstract

The demand for coffee in Cambodia is also growing, driven by a number of factors, including the increasing popularity of coffee shops and cafes, the rising incomes of Cambodians, and the growing influence of Western culture. This growing demand is putting a strain on domestic supply, and Cambodia now imports more coffee than it produces. In 2020, Cambodia imported around 770 tons of coffee beans, mainly from neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Laos. A qualitative method combined with a descriptive analytic approach is the methodology addressed. The data is review from relevant sources on the supply and demand of coffee in Cambodia include academic papers, government reports, industry reports, and news articles. found that the coffee sector in Cambodia has the potential to generate significant economic and social benefits for the country. The study found that the coffee sector could create up to 100,000 new jobs and generate $500 million in revenue by 2025. The study also found that the coffee sector could help to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of rural communities. Coffee is a relatively high-value crop, and coffee farmers can earn significantly more than farmers who grow other crops. An estimated 9,650 tons of coffee were consumed in Cambodia in 2022. This represents a significant increase from 2014, when Cambodians consumed only 5,970 tons of coffee. In 2020, Cambodia produced around 3,900 tons of coffee, and the government has a goal of increasing production to 10,000 tons by 2025.

Abstract

In Cambodia, domestic processing accounts for about 10% of total agricultural output, while processed agricultural exports make up only 8% of all official exports by value. Processing and handling of agricultural products after harvest need private investment if Cambodia is to benefit economically from adding value to its produce. There aren't many big businesses involved in agro-processing. Among the possible activities include the processing of dairy products, cashew nuts, sugar, fruits, fish products, meat, and cassava. Publicly available studies on Cambodian household agriproduct processing are also included in this review. An article based on literature research is this study. Food processing includes postharvest processing methods as well as packhouse, transport, market, and processing. The key to handling the issue of processing these productions is agro-processing. Items like candy, pickles, sausages, meatballs, fish balls, Prahok, frozen dairy, and soy milk, among others. The majority of agriculturally processed products are exported informally since they lack branding, packaging, certification, or licencing.  However, implementing agro-processing in Cambodia is fraught with difficulties involving labour, knowledge, machinery, equipment, and exporters' maintenance of the machinery.

Abstract

Agro-tourism, sometimes referred to as eco-tourism or rural tourism, has gained international acceptance as one of the primary methods for establishing rural sustainability. In this definition, agro-tourism refers to the fusion of agricultural, ecological, and cultural products for a variety of purposes, such as social, educational, recreational, health, and environmental. The agriculture industry is the main driver of the Cambodian economy, and in order to sustain the livelihoods and economics of the people living there, a number of tourism-related companies must expand. Finding the most crucial development methods for Cambodia's agro-tourism sector is the primary objective of this review. Aspects of political stability, the development of rural community infrastructure, strategy plans, tourist product stability, marketing components, information system components, encouraging local tourism, investment appeal, and financial support are among the main essential considerations. Strategies are essential to expeditiously enhancing the agro-tourist activities delineated in government policies, including those pertaining to the agricultural sector, agricultural communities, and nature, culture, and society-related tourism. The review has revealed that a wide range of factors could greatly aid in the adoption of agro-tourism development plans and methodologies throughout Cambodia's diverse ecological zones.

Abstract

Mangrove is a plant that is always seen in tropical and subtropical coastal areas, along coastal lagoons, the margins of estuaries, and deltas as well. Cambodia has a long coastline of 435 kilometers across four provinces: Koh Kong, Preah Sihanoukville, Kep, and Kampot, which have rich natural resources such as mangroves. Because of humans and nature, 36,810 ha of mangrove forest were damaged between 1989 and 2017. This review aims: (1) to find out the reason for mangroves to be managed; (2) to define the problem of degradation of mangroves; and (3) to find out the method for restoring and conserving mangroves in Kampot Province. This review uses a qualitative approach to collect data from another document of the journal that was published; the website, the book, and the report combine it on the desk and analyze it by using secondary data as a qualitative and quantitative method. In this review, we found the mangrove forest has provided many benefits, both human, economic, and environmental. It is a renewable resource that must be managed and conserved in a sustainable way. The forest of mangroves has equity concerns about achieving the optimum forest products and services to fulfill the needs of recent generations without destroying them. Conserving mangrove forests is our role, together with that of future generations.

Abstract

Homesteading, also known as home gardens, is a long-standing food production practice worldwide. It involves cultivating vegetables around the home, with some families growing multiple varieties without proper management. The aim of this study is to express how important of home garden is for individual Khmer families and livelihood in Rural areas of Cambodia. Home gardens therefore feature species that are complementary to one another and are characterized by cheap capital input and basic technology. They can improve the variety of foods in a home, provide fresh vegetables, save money by not buying vegetables, and increase income by selling extra vegetables to neighbors and friends. This income can be used to pay for other foods, school fees, and other expenses. Gardening also helps families exercise and stay fit, diversifying their diet, and reducing daily expenses. It also provides livelihood opportunities for resource-poor families and delivers various ecosystem services. In conclusion, working in the garden encourages family exercise and fitness, raising the diet's level of diversity even more, lower daily costs, such as providing resource-poor families with a means of subsistence, and provide several ecosystem services.

Abstract

The most common banana cultivars grown in Cambodia are Namva, Pong Mone, Ambong Meas, Ambong Kheiv, Ambong Loeug, and Slabmuk. Cambodia bananas were exported to China for the first time, becoming the first Cambodian fruit shipped to China. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Cambodia reports that in the first half of 2022, the country exported 218,000 tons of fresh bananas, all of which were sold to China. Fresh bananas have emerged as Cambodia's greatest agricultural export, with an expected yearly export amounting to 500,000 tons. This review paper's goal is to compile the literature on banana production in Cambodia. Growing and taking care of the banana plant is simple. However, it also has some diseases and insects that harm its leaves and stems. The most prevalent diseases that may cause issues during the wet season are circular, depressed areas, and dry reddish brown. Banana growers should focus on standardization, technologies suitable for various cultivation systems, high-yield variety selection, planting healthy, disease-free, planting material, selecting the proper planting density, timely and need-based input application, and irrigation water should be the main priorities for banana growers, and to bridge the gap between yield and potential yield per unit area nutrients, weed control, etc., are important.

Abstract

The rubber tree (natural rubber) is a tropical crop around the world. In Cambodia, rubber is one of the most popular agro-industrial crops introduced since the 1910s. This study review article aims to demonstrate the methods for planting and harvesting techniques in rubber plantations. Cultivation is the most important factor in the rubber sector, and planting is done during June and July. Moreover, selecting varieties of clonal rubber is the best way to improve high production, high initial vigor, tolerance to climate change, pests, wind damage, and diseases, and to be a good secondary characteristic. In addition, harvesting techniques are vital elements in the status of rubber plantations. So, improving the methods of cultivation and the techniques of harvesting is very important in order to get a high amount of rubber production.

Abstract

Extension workers have been instrumental in encouraging farmers to adopt new technologies, aiming to improve productivity, income, social status, and climate resilience. This study investigates challenges in technology adoption and its impact on vegetable production, economic and social enhancement, and climate resilience in Svay Rieng province. Data from 302 agricultural cooperative members were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation to examine relationships and linear regression to predict factors influencing farmers' achievements. Results show that internal challenges (labor, capital, technical know-how) significantly influence success, followed by external challenges. Investments in hard technologies (e.g., net houses, drip irrigation) strongly correlated with achievements, while soft technologies (technical knowledge) had a lesser impact. Regression analysis identified internal challenges and adoption of hard technologies as key predictors, explaining 25% of overall performance, including 36%, 29%, and 25% of economic, social, and climate resilience improvements, respectively. For production, only internal challenges and hard technologies were determinants, predicting 30%. Addressing internal challenges and enhancing technology applications are critical to improving vegetable producers' success in the province.
