CEDAC is a not-for-profit NGO specializing in sustainable agriculture and rural development. Our center was established in August 1997, with initial support from GRET, a French NGO. CEDAC has developed into the leading national NGO providing support services to improve the life of small farmers throughout Cambodia. As of 207, we are active in supporting around 200,000 families in more than 7,000 villages, 1,000 communes, 150 districts, and 20 of Cambodia’s 24 provinces.
CEDAC is the pioneer in developing and disseminating System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Cambodia since 2000, including supporting the marketing of certified organic rice to markets. It opened the first organic food shop in Cambodia in 2004 and exported the first certified organic rice to the US in 2009.
CEDAC has been also very successful in supporting farmer organizations, especially saving associations. More than 1500 saving groups have been formed successfully with more than 60,000 members, of whom 65% are women. Producers associations have been set up with more than 2,000 members, and also water user communities for having more efficient irrigation.
