Title of document: What limits agricultural intensification in Cambodia? The Role of Emigration, Agricultural Extension Services and Credit Constraints Authors: TONG Kimsun, HEM Socheth and Paulo SANTOS Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: CDRI Year of publication: 2011 Geographic focus: Cambodia Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Literature review; Data; Empirical approach and estimates; Conclusion …) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: This paper attempts to define the factors which determine emigration and rice doublecropping, i.e. rice cultivation on the same plot twice per year, by rural households in Cambodia, and investigates whether these decisions influence each other using data from a two-period panel survey of 231 households in three provinces in rural Cambodia. In the analysis, we take into account possible correlation between these decisions (through estimating a seemingly unrelated bivariate probit model) and unobserved heterogeneity among farmers (through estimating a random-effects probit model). It is found that rice double-cropping and emigration decisions are not closely inter-related. We can also conclude that the availability of water and agricultural land are the key determinants of rice double-cropping. Households which rely on animal draught power for agricultural production are unlikely to engage in rice double-cropping. Policies aimed at increasing irrigation and providing socioeconomic land concessions in rural areas may play a critical role in improving agricultural production.   Read More

Title of document: Current Use of Pesticides in the Agricultural Products of Cambodia Authors: Visarto Preap and Kang Sareth Journal’s name if any: Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: MAFF Year of publication: Geographic focus: Cambodia Main issues / topics addressed (for example: Introduction; Pesticide use; Feature actions; Conclusion…) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): Summary: Lack of law enforcement to farmers especially those who greatly depend on using pesticides created a big challenge for pesticide management in Cambodia; banned and restricted pesticides are widely available in the local markets. Counterfeit and illegal pesticide products are often found in unregistered pesticide shops/retailers. To fight against these challenges Cambodia shall take priority actions: improve border inspection on circulation of pesticides, and strengthening pesticide management law.   Read More

Title of document: The Technological Trajectory of Integrated Pest Management for Rice in Cambodia Authors: Rica Joy Flor, Kry Chhay, Vichet Sorn, Harro Maat and Buyung Asmara Ratna Hadi Journal’s name if any: Sustainability Ministry/Government Agency/Organisation: MDPI Year of publication: 2018 Geographic focus: Cambodia Main issues / topics addressed (for example : Framework and Methods; Results; Discussion ; Conclusions……) School of agroecology (if any): Web address to original document (if any): http://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/10/6/1732/pdf Summary: For the past two decades, while the efficacy of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been successfully demonstrated in Cambodia, its dissemination and sustained adoption among farmers have not met similar success. This study moves away from simplistic analyses about constraints in extension methods for IPM. Instead, we take a broader look into technological systems and the trajectoryforpestmanagement,whichaffectedthespreadanduptakeofIPMinthecountry. Through a review of the wider context in policies and programs, and a survey of farmers from five provinces in Cambodia (N = 400), we examined the connections between options for pest management at the farmer level and conditions in the technological system. Using the Cambodian case study, we show that the technological system predisposes to pesticide use and as such hinders a trajectory of IPM. Systemic conditions, including interrelated agronomic practices, ecological conditions in farming communities, governance mechanisms, structures around the spread of knowledge and the industry around the technological options, have created mutual socio-technical dependencies. Although programs targeted change through knowledge of IPM, much of the systemic conditions sustain the trajectory of pesticide reliance. Hence, promoting an innovation environment that is supportive of IPM requires extension beyond knowledge dissemination, addressing these varied elements of the technological system   Read More
