Abstract

The fisheries sector in Cambodia plays an important role in the economic, security, food, and nutrition sectors, including freshwater, seawater, and aquaculture. This study aims to 1) understand the type and size of farmed fish in Svay Rieng town, 2) understand the farmed fish market chain in Svay Rieng town, and 3) analyze the economic efficiency of selling farmed fish in Svay Rieng town. As a method, a survey was conducted by selecting 40 samples (fish vendors) from Veal Yun Market and Rong Bonler Market in Svay Rieng town by face-to-face interviewing. The results found that the activities of selling and consumption of farmed fish in the market are very active. Fish vendors sold many types of farmed fish. The fish types that the vendors sell the most are channa striata, clarias macrocephalus, channa micropeltes, red tilapia, pantius gorionothus, puntioplites, and other types. The fish market chain in Svay Rieng town is traded and trafficked from brokers to traders and fish vendors in the market and resold to wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. For the economic efficiency analysis of farmed fish sales in Svay Rieng town, there is a majority of vendors who are prosperous. To encourage local fish farming, the government should step up its efforts to support farmers who raise fish as a family and those who depend on fishing for their livelihood by educating and training them to cut back on imports.

Abstract

Cambodia faces a significant challenge in developing a high-quality, capable, and productive workforce to meet the demands of its growing socio-economic development. However, many students dropped out of secondary and high school during the year. This study aims to investigate the impact of school drop-out among secondary school students on social development in Pong Tek commune, Romdoul district, and Svay Rieng province, Cambodia. The research methodology involved conducting interviews with 60 teachers who personally taught students at Hun Sen Pong Teuk High School. The result showed that some secondary school students still struggle with their studies. They have the highest travel expense deficit at 68%, lack study materials at 35%, and struggle to purchase clothes at 21%. The key factors that cause students to drop-out include internal factors (health and fitness, carelessness) and external factors (poverty, employment, late enrollment, violence, migration, distance from home to school, and social concerns). These student drop-out have a significant impact on social development, leading to issues such as illiteracy, job challenges, and a shift towards vocational training. In conclusion, many students drop-out of school for personal and social reasons, family problems, employment, and learning mismatch problems. After dropping-out of school, most of them lack adequate vocational training, which makes it difficult for them to find a job due to their hard work and low income. We recommend encouraging the students to pursue vocational training to enhance their skills, knowledge, and morality.

Abstract

Smallholder farmers in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia, play a crucial role in the country's agricultural sector, particularly in vegetable production. Despite facing numerous challenges such as limited access to resources, climate change, and market uncertainties, these farmers contribute significantly to the national food security. This study aims to explore the technical knowledge, technical adaptation and practices of vegetable cultivation, and to analyze the economic efficiency of vegetable cultivation of farmers in Svay Rieng and Svay Chrum districts, Svay Rieng province, Cambodia. The household survey was conducted on 92 farmers in ten target communities, with at least three types of vegetables planted by each household. The result revealed that nearly two-thirds of farmers have over nine years of experience in vegetable cultivation, with most receiving technical training from the HEQCIP Project team. Nearly 70% of non-target farmers received training from government agencies and NGOs. A high percentage of survey farmers (90% target farmers and 75% non-target farmers) share their technical knowledge and experiences on vegetable cultivation with their relatives, neighbors, and other farmers in their communities. At least three different types of vegetables were planted by each household in target communities, including onion leaf, cucumber, wax gourd, gourd, cabbage, luffa gourd, herbs, morning glory, eggplant, pumpkin, spiny, and long-bean. The percentage of farmers who applied techniques provided by the project to integrate with their experiences was high (76% target farmers and 52% non-target farmers). However, only 17% target and 11% non-target farmers adapted the full technical packages provided by the project. The survey found that 75% of target and 50% non-target farmers improved their livelihood status, with 50% using their incomes from vegetable selling for income generation activities, 80% for purchasing household materials and equipment, and 10% for repaying in-debts.
