Improving Rice Production and Commercialization in Cambodia : Findings from a Farm Investment Climate Assessment.

Improving Rice Production and Commercialization in Cambodia : Findings from a Farm Investment Climate Assessment.

Cambodia has a potential advantage in agricultural production due to significant amounts of fertile land and high levels of agricultural employment, but rice production and commercialization remain well below potential. This study uses a farm investment climate assessment to provide evidence on key...
